in the public interest to provide a system of identifying
persons who are not qualified to acquire or possess firearms,
firearm ammunition, stun guns, and tasers within the State of

amended, from acquiring or possessing firearms and firearm
ammunition and who are prohibited by this Act from acquiring
stun guns and tasers.
