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.
