45-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill stops the Department of Defense and government weapons plants from selling certain firearms and ammunition into the commercial market. It also bars the Pentagon from buying from any seller that sells those prohibited items commercially. For other firearms and ammunition, dealers must meet training, licensing, recordkeeping, background check, and security requirements before doing business with the federal government. The bill also creates a new federal license for ammunition dealers and requires annual public reports to Congress.
This bill directly affects the Department of Defense, government-owned weapons plants, and private firearms and ammunition dealers and manufacturers who want to sell to or buy from the federal government.
Dealers who do not meet the new requirements would lose access to federal contracts. Government plants and the Pentagon would be required to report their commercial sales to Congress each year.
