Federal Gun Safety Reform: Universal Checks, Red Flags, and Stalker Prohibition
This legislation requires that most firearm transfers between unlicensed persons be facilitated by a licensed dealer, effectively mandating background checks. It limits handgun purchases to one per month for unlicensed individuals. The bill establishes a grant program to encourage states to enact Extreme Risk Protection Order laws, allowing courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger. Additionally, it mandates reporting lost or stolen firearms and prohibits individuals convicted of misdemeanor stalking from possessing firearms.
