Bill overview
This bill, the Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act, aims to remove restrictions on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regarding the handling of gun records and data. It seeks to allow the ATF to more effectively track guns used in crimes and combat illegal gun trafficking by eliminating limitations on data sharing, requiring annual inventory audits for gun shops, and preventing the immediate destruction of background check records. The bill is driven by concerns about the impact of the Tiahrt Amendments on law enforcement and public safety.
