Life & Work
Licensed firearms dealers who meet the threshold of 25 or more short-time-to-crime traced guns in at least two of three years would be publicly listed on the ATF website. This could lead to lost business from law enforcement contracts and reputational harm. However, only dealers with consistently high crime-trace rates would be affected, which is a small fraction of all gun retailers.
