Requires firearm owners to report lost or stolen guns to law enforcement within 48 hours.
This bill would require people who own firearms, but aren't licensed dealers, to report lost or stolen guns to law enforcement within 48 hours. If they don't, they could face fines or be temporarily blocked from buying more firearms. It also creates a new online way for the public to report these incidents.
Currently, there is no federal law requiring private firearm owners to report lost or stolen firearms within a specific timeframe, nor a federal web portal for such reports. There are also no specific federal civil penalties or prohibitions on buying firearms for failing to report. This bill would require non-licensed firearm owners to report lost or stolen firearms to the Attorney General or local law enforcement within 48 hours. It would establish a federal web portal for reporting, impose civil money penalties of up to $1,000 or $5,000 for non-compliance, and prohibit individuals with multiple reporting violations from receiving firearms for 1 to 5 years.
