What This Bill Does

This bill extends federal restrictions on the receipt, possession, shipment, and transportation of firearms and ammunition to two new categories of persons:

  • persons who fail to meet the minimum age requirements imposed by federal law and by the law of their resident state; and
  • persons who are out-of-state residents and do not qualify for an exception, such as the temporary loan or rental of a firearm for lawful sporting purposes.

Additionally, the bill imposes criminal penalties, a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both, on an individual who ships, transports, or receives a firearm or ammunition while under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year.
