Bill > HR820

This bill, the Gun Show Loophole Closing Act of 2019, aims to require criminal background checks on all firearm transactions occurring at gun shows. Specifically, the bill establishes new requirements for gun show operators, including registering with the Attorney General, verifying the identities of gun show vendors, and notifying attendees of the applicable legal requirements. The bill also mandates that firearm transfers between private parties at a gun show must be facilitated by a licensed gun dealer, importer, or manufacturer in compliance with certain background check and recordkeeping requirements. The bill also increases penalties for violations of these provisions and grants the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives additional authority to inspect gun shows and report on their findings.
