The bill trades broader federal protections and lower compliance costs for lawful gun owners and dealers against increased public‑safety risks, reduced law‑enforcement information and tools, and the loss of prevention programs and local supports.
Lawful gun owners and lawful purchasers (including many taxpayers and middle‑class families) would face fewer federal restrictions and less paperwork because firearm provisions of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act would be removed.
Gun sellers, some agencies, and taxpayers could see lower federal compliance costs by restoring prior law and returning to pre‑Bipartisan Safer Communities Act rules.
Federal policy would be directed to emphasize addressing root causes of violence (e.g., social interventions) rather than expanding federal firearm restrictions, shifting federal resources and focus to non‑regulatory responses.
People seeking firearms could face fewer background‑check safeguards and removed safety provisions, increasing risks to public safety (greater potential for firearm access by higher‑risk individuals) that could affect schools, communities, and families.
Law enforcement and public‑safety agencies could lose critical tools and uniform standards—including reduced NICS juvenile‑record access and limitations on evidence‑based federal regulations—hindering background checks and investigations.
Victims and communities could lose programs, protections, or prevention resources established or enabled by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, reducing local social‑service supports for violence prevention and recovery.

Introduced November 12, 2025 by Wesley Hunt · Last progress November 12, 2025
Repeals the firearm-related provisions of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and restores the affected federal statutes to the wording they had immediately before that Act took effect. It removes the changes made to several federal criminal and education statutes (including provisions expanding juvenile record reporting to NICS) and directs that the prior statutory text be reinstated. The bill does not create new programs or spending; it undoes specified changes made by the earlier law and removes a paragraph that had provided funding to expand juvenile records for background checks. Effects take place upon enactment by reverting statutory language to its prior form.
