What does this do?
Right now, licensed gun dealers must report to federal authorities when they sell two or more handguns to the same unlicensed customer within five business days. This bill would expand that rule to cover all firearms, including rifles and shotguns. It does not ban or restrict any purchases.
Who does it affect?
Licensed gun dealers would have a broader reporting obligation under this bill. Federal law enforcement would receive reports, and unlicensed customers who buy two or more firearms of any type from the same dealer within five business days would be the subject of those reports.
Why does it matter?
Federal authorities would receive information about a wider range of multiple firearm purchases than they do today. The change affects what dealers are required to report, not what customers are allowed to buy.
