Prevent Illegal Gun Sales Act
HR 4106, the Prevent Illegal Gun Sales Act, strengthens gun dealer oversight by requiring three annual compliance inspections (up from one) and increasing penalties for violations to up to five years in prison. It imposes $10,000 civil penalties per violation for unsafe gun storage or failures to maintain records, and mandates physical inventory checks if a dealer unlawfully transfers firearms or 10+ crime guns are traced to them. The bill allows the Attorney General to suspend or revoke dealer licenses for serious violations, including felony convictions, and requires dealers to maintain secure storage. These changes directly affect licensed gun dealers, manufacturers, and importers by tightening accountability for compliance with federal gun laws.
