HR 10276 United States House · 118th Congress

Second Amendment Rights Restoration and Accountability Act

This bill clarifies the process for individuals with prior convictions who have received pardons, expungements, or restored rights when purchasing firearms. It requires the ATF to revise Form 4473 (used for firearm background checks) within 90 days to clearly explain these exceptions and how to answer related questions correctly. Additionally, it mandates a 6-month review by the Comptroller General, Attorney General, and ATF Director to examine cases where people were unjustly charged for false statements on this form since the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act took effect. The bill directly affects gun buyers with restored rights who faced incorrect legal challenges.
