What This Bill Does
This bill stops gun dealers (called Federal firearms licensees) from selling long guns to people who do not live in the same state where the gun dealer's business is located. The bill applies the same restriction to businesses or other organizations that don't have an office in that state.
Who It Affects
Federal firearms licensees (gun dealers with federal licenses) and people or businesses trying to buy long guns from out of state.
Key Provisions
• Gun dealers cannot sell long guns to a person if the dealer knows or reasonably suspects that person does not live in the dealer's state (Sec. 2)
• Gun dealers cannot sell long guns to corporations or business entities that do not maintain a place of business in the dealer's state (Sec. 2)
What Changes
The law currently has an exception for long guns that would be removed. This bill amends the existing firearm transfer law to eliminate subsections (A) and (B) of Section 922(b)(3) in title 18 of the United States Code (Sec. 2).
