Protecting Americans from Reckless Gun Dealers Act of 2025

This bill aims to increase oversight of federal gun dealers. It would require the Justice Department to share data with Congress about gun shop inspections, including when licenses are revoked and when shops are told to fix problems. It also directs the Government Accountability Office to study how well the ATF investigates gun dealers and revokes licenses when needed. The bill creates an annual report to Congress about these inspections and actions.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Federal gun dealers, the ATF, the Justice Department, Congress, and the Government Accountability Office.
• What changes: An annual report to Congress on inspections, revocations, and remedial actions; a study on how effective ATF is at investigating and revoking licenses.
• When: The report is annual; the study is required by the bill, but timing details aren’t provided in the text excerpt here.
