Federal Contracts Ban for Gun Dealers Linked to Crime.

This law aims to enhance public safety by restricting the federal government from doing business with firearms dealers whose products are frequently linked to criminal activity shortly after purchase. The government will publish an annual list of dealers from whom 25 or more firearms were traced to crimes within three years of sale, and federal agencies will be prohibited from contracting with them.
Key points
The Attorney General must publish an annual list of gun dealers whose sold firearms are quickly recovered at crime scenes (short time-to-crime).
Federal agencies are banned from entering into contracts with dealers on this list for the current year and the two preceding years.
This measure uses federal purchasing power to incentivize dealers to prevent illegal gun trafficking, potentially increasing community safety.
