Prohibiting firearm sales to individuals with revoked licenses or court orders.

New rules aim to prevent firearm purchases by individuals whose state firearm license has been revoked or who have been ordered by a state court to surrender their firearms. This means gun sellers will need to verify that buyers are not on a list of individuals who have lost their right to possess firearms in a given state. The goal is to enhance public safety by restricting firearm access for those who have previously forfeited their right to own them.
