This bill would expand an existing reporting rule for gun dealers. Today, licensed dealers must report when they sell two or more handguns to the same person within five business days. The bill changes that so the rule applies to all firearms, not just handguns.

Key points

• Who is affected: Federal firearms licensees (gun dealers) and customers who buy multiple guns quickly.
• What changes: Dealers would have to report sales of two or more firearms of any kind to the same unlicensed person within five consecutive business days (not just pistols and revolvers).
• When: The text changes the law but does not state an effective date; it would take effect if and when enacted.

In everyday terms, if someone buys two or more guns within a short time from the same dealer, that sale would be reported, whether those guns are handguns, rifles, or shotguns.
