Streamlining Law Enforcement's Ability to Enforce Gun Safety Laws.

Increased Oversight of Gun Dealers: Restrictions on inspecting firearm inventories of licensed dealers and retaining transaction records will be removed.
Changed License Standards: It will be easier to revoke a gun dealer's license for knowing violations, rather than only for willful ones.
