Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to discontinue the collection by the Federal Government of firearm transaction records of discontinued firearms businesses, to require the destruction of such already collected records, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act, aims to prevent the federal government from maintaining firearm transaction records from businesses that have gone out of business. Specifically, the bill requires the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to destroy all firearm transaction records that have been previously submitted to the Attorney General within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The bill also amends existing law to prevent future collection of such records by removing the provisions that currently allow the ATF to retain these transaction records. Additionally, the bill mandates that the ATF Director submit a report to Congress detailing the number of firearm transaction records destroyed, which is intended to ensure transparency in the record destruction process. The underlying motivation appears to be protecting privacy and preventing potential government tracking of firearm purchases by eliminating historical transaction records from defunct firearms businesses.
