Overview

This bill requires the Department of Justice to produce an annual report detailing the demographic information of individuals denied firearm purchases through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The report will include data on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, age, disability, income, and English language proficiency, if available. The goal is to provide Congress with data to assess potential disparities in firearm access based on these demographic factors.

The report must cover data from the preceding year.
The report will include demographic data related to NICS background checks.
Specific demographic categories to be included are race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, age, disability, income, and English language proficiency.
The report is to be submitted to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Who is affected

Individuals seeking to purchase firearms
The Department of Justice
Congress (specifically the Judiciary Committees)
Gun purchasers
The public (through increased transparency)

Notable changes

This bill mandates the collection and reporting of demographic data related to NICS background checks, which is currently not consistently done.
