Transparency & AccountabilityGun LawsThe ATF would post a yearly public report on traced guns — including the 200 gun sellers tied to the most traces.
Transparency & Accountability
The ATF would have to tell Congress and the public, every year, where traced guns came from and how fast they turned up. It would also report on gun trafficking cases and how they started.
Gun Laws
The yearly report would name the 200 licensed sellers whose first sales led to the most traced guns. It would show each seller's count, the cities where police found the guns, and how many the seller had reported lost or stolen.
More about this bill
You could look up which gun stores sell the most guns that police later trace. The Justice Department's gun agency (the ATF) would post a public report every year. The first report would be due within 180 days of the law passing. It would list the 200 gun sellers tied to the most traced guns. For each seller, it would show how many guns, where police found them, and how fast they turned up after the sale. The report would also count guns reported lost or stolen from gun stores. It would count homemade guns with no serial number, often called ghost guns. It would show U.S. guns found in other countries. It would also show which police agencies ask for the most traces. It would explain how guns move from legal sales to illegal hands. That includes sales at gun shows and through online forums. The bill does not change who can buy a gun or how stores sell them.
