Summary

Prohibits licensed firearm sellers from selling semiautomatic centerfire rifles or semiautomatic centerfire shotguns that can accept feeding devices holding more than five rounds to persons under 21, while preserving the existing rule that no firearm or ammunition may be sold to anyone under 18 and creating exceptions for defined “qualified individuals.” It adds definitions (including “ammunition feeding device”) and updates related wording. Also requires the FBI Director to deliver a report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees within 90 days describing how the FBI’s public access line shares information with field offices and recommending improvements to those information‑sharing protocols.
