New Firearm Dealer Regulations: Enhanced Security, Oversight, and Accountability
This act introduces significant changes to firearm sales regulations, aiming to enhance public safety and restrict criminals' access to firearms. Citizens can expect stricter controls on dealers, which should reduce stolen firearms and illegal transactions. The changes will impact firearm availability, purchasing methods, and dealer accountability.
Key points
Mandatory security for gun stores: Dealers must implement security plans, including safes, alarm systems, and video monitoring, to prevent thefts.
Increased inspections and dealer accountability: Annual firearm inventories and reporting of missing firearms become mandatory. High-risk dealers will face more frequent inspections, and penalties for violations will increase.
Expanded background checks: All firearm store employees will undergo background checks. The NICS system will retain data longer and have broader access to information.
New rules for online platforms: Online platforms facilitating firearm sales must be licensed and ensure all transactions go through licensed dealers with background checks.
Increased licensing fees: Fees for firearm importers, manufacturers, and dealers will be doubled.
