New Rules for Gun Dealers: Transparency and Federal Contract Ban.

This act aims to increase transparency in firearm sales. The government will publish a list of dealers whose firearms are frequently traced to crimes shortly after purchase. Federal agencies will be prohibited from contracting with such dealers, aiming to limit access to firearms used in criminal activities.
Key points
The government will annually publish a list of firearm dealers from whom many firearms have been traced to crimes within three years of sale.
Federal agencies will be prohibited from purchasing firearms or entering into other contracts with companies on this list.
A waiver from the prohibition is possible for national security purposes, requiring the Attorney General's approval and congressional notification.
