Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal certain impediments to the administration of the firearms laws.
AI Summary
This bill, the Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act, aims to repeal certain restrictions on the administration of firearms laws. It would eliminate the "Tiahrt Amendments," which currently prevent the collection of valuable information and the establishment of effective policies to prevent illegal guns from being used in crimes. The bill would also repeal the requirement to destroy instant criminal background check records within 24 hours, allowing for better tracing of firearms used in crimes. Additionally, the bill would remove prohibitions on the consolidation or centralization of firearms acquisition and disposition records maintained by federal firearms licensees, as well as the prohibition on processing Freedom of Information Act requests about arson, explosives incidents, or firearm traces. The overall goal is to support law enforcement efforts and provide the public with more information to develop effective policies against illegal gun trafficking.
