Stop Militarizing Our Streets Act of 2026

HR 7827 restricts the Department of Defense from purchasing or selling military-style assault weapons and certain high-capacity ammunition (like .223 Remington) in commercial markets. It imposes strict requirements on dealers selling firearms or ammunition, including mandatory NICS background checks, limits on high-volume sales, security measures (like surveillance systems), and electronic recordkeeping for transactions. Dealers must also meet crime trace limits (fewer than 24 crime guns traced annually) and implement training on recognizing straw purchases and preventing illegal sales. Government-owned weapons plants must annually report commercial sales data to Congress, including customer locations and revenue.
