Legislative Progress
This bill is supported only by one party and faces strong opposition from those who want to keep gun trace data private. It is unlikely to move forward in the current political climate.
Key Points
- This bill would stop federal grant money from going to police departments that buy or sell guns through certain high-risk dealers. These are dealers who have sold at least 25 guns that were used in crimes within three years of being sold.
- The ATF would be required to create and publish a public list of these high-risk dealers every year. This would help the public and police departments see which businesses are most often linked to illegal gun activity.
- Police departments would get a notification from the ATF if a gun they used to own is found at a crime scene. This helps agencies track where their old equipment ends up and if it is being used for illegal acts.
- The bill removes old rules that kept gun trace data secret from the public. By making this data available, the bill aims to increase transparency about how guns move from legal stores to the hands of criminals.
