Bill overview
The Untraceable Firearms Act of 2021 aims to regulate the manufacture and sale of "ghost guns" – firearms without serial numbers – by strengthening federal regulations. The bill defines key terms like ‘ghost gun’ and ‘undetectable firearm,’ and expands the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ authority to oversee their production and distribution. It also addresses interstate gun trafficking by emphasizing firearm tracing and imposing stricter penalties for illegal possession and sale of these firearms. The legislation seeks to improve public safety by making firearms more traceable and reducing the availability of untraceable weapons.
