A BILL To ensure greater accountability by licensed firearms dealers.
AI Summary
This bill, the Keeping Gun Dealers Honest Act of 2021, aims to ensure greater accountability by licensed firearms dealers. The key provisions include: increasing the number of allowed compliance inspections of firearms dealers from once to three times, increasing penalties on firearms licensees from one year to five years for certain violations, and allowing the Attorney General to suspend or revoke a dealer's license or impose civil penalties for violations of the Gun Control Act. The bill also authorizes the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to hire additional personnel to conduct the increased inspections, and gives the Attorney General more discretion in denying or revoking firearms dealer licenses.
