The Gun Trafficking and Crime Prevention Act:
Prohibits Firearms Trafficking: The bill prohibits the purchase or transfer of a firearm if the intent is to deliver it to someone else who is prohibited by Federal or State law from possessing one.
Strengthens Penalties for Straw Purchasers: The bill strengthens penalties for “straw purchasers” who intentionally provide false or misleading material information when they purchase firearms from Federal Firearms Licensees. The bill reclassifies such acts as felonies, instead of misdemeanors, as they currently are under law.
Enhances Penalties for Kingpins and Multiple Illegal Purchases: The bill provides enhanced penalties for organizers or managers of firearms trafficking networks and recommends that the Sentencing Commission increase penalties for multiple illegal gun purchases. The bill reclassifies such acts as felonies, instead of misdemeanors, as they currently are under law.
The Gun Show Loophole Closing Act:
Subjects gun sales and transfers at gun shows to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and require that transfers are reported to the Attorney General.
Requires gun show operators to register with the Attorney General and notify the AG of the details of upcoming shows, including the identity of all firearm vendors, as well as keep a record of all vendors’ identities.
Allows the ATF to hire investigators to inspect gun shows and examine records kept by gun show operators and vendors.
The NICS Review Act:
Replaces the current 24 hour maximum with a 90 day minimum retention period to allow the FBI and ATF at least 90 days to audit the background check system to make sure the process is working effectively.
Makes it more difficult for dangerous individuals to skirt the law and the safeguards already in place.
The Firearm Risk Protection Act:
Prohibits Firearms Trafficking: The bill requires all gun purchasers to hold qualified liability insurance and restricts retail gun sales without proof of coverage.
Strengthens protections for victims of gun violence: The bill protects victims by ensuring that liability insurance covers a victim's medical expenses due to gun violence.
Ensures responsible gun ownership: The bill enacts fines towards violators of the provision up to $10,000 for not insuring firearms.
The Handgun Trigger Safety Act:
Authorizes grants to develop and improve “personalized” handgun technology to increase efficacy and decrease costs.
Mandates that within 5 years of enactment all newly manufactured handguns must be personalized, ensuring that they can only be operated by authorized users.
Mandates that within 10 years of enactment anyone selling a handgun must retrofit it with personalization technology before that sale can be completed.
Provides reimbursement to manufacturers for the costs of retrofitting handguns through the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund.
