Bill > HR2648

This bill, known as the Secure Background Checks Act of 2025, proposes several modifications to existing federal firearm regulations in the United States Code. The bill primarily focuses on strengthening age and residency restrictions for firearm possession and transfers. Specifically, it adds two new prohibitions to existing law: first, it prevents individuals from shipping, transporting, possessing, or receiving firearms if they do not meet the age requirements in their state of residence, and second, it restricts individuals from purchasing firearms in a state where they do not reside or maintain a business, unless they qualify for specific exceptions. Additionally, the bill increases penalties for transferring firearms to individuals who are under indictment, expanding the scope of existing legal consequences. By amending Section 922(g) and Section 924(a)(2) of Title 18, the legislation aims to create more stringent background check requirements and limit potential opportunities for firearm acquisition by individuals who may pose a higher risk, such as those who do not meet age or residency criteria.
