New Police Rules: Firearm Transparency and Grant Eligibility

This act changes how law enforcement agencies can receive grants, requiring them to avoid dealing with firearm sellers linked to guns used in crimes. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability in firearm transactions, potentially enhancing public safety.
Key points
Police agencies cannot buy or sell firearms to dealers identified as frequently selling guns used in crimes within a short timeframe.
Information about these problematic firearm dealers will be made publicly available online.
Law enforcement agencies will be notified if firearms they transferred are later used in criminal offenses.
