Increased Oversight of Illegal Firearms Trafficking to the Caribbean
The CATCH Act aims to enhance security by combating the illicit trafficking of firearms from the United States to the Caribbean. It mandates the Attorney General to submit an annual report on the prosecution activities of the Coordinator for Caribbean Firearms Prosecutions. While the Act does not directly alter US citizens' gun rights, its goal is to curb violence in the Caribbean, which may indirectly help reduce illegal migration and improve regional security.
