Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to expand to all firearms the requirement that Federal firearms licensees report sales of 2 or more handguns to the same unlicensed person within 5 consecutive business days.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the existing reporting requirements for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) by modifying the current law to mandate reporting of sales of two or more firearms to the same unlicensed person within 5 consecutive business days, whereas previously the requirement only applied to handguns (specifically pistols and revolvers). Currently, FFLs must report multiple handgun sales to law enforcement agencies, and this bill would broaden that requirement to include all types of firearms. The legislation, titled the "Multiple Firearm Sales Reporting Modernization Act of 2025," makes a simple but potentially significant change to Title 18 of the United States Code by replacing the specific language about handguns with the more comprehensive term "firearms," which would encompass a wider range of weapon types. This change could potentially provide law enforcement with more comprehensive information about multiple firearm purchases, which might help in tracking potential straw purchases or other suspicious buying patterns.
