Gun Violence Prevention Through Financial Intelligence Act

This bill directs FinCEN (the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) to request specific financial data from banks and other financial institutions within one year. The goal is to develop an advisory identifying how homegrown extremists and domestic terrorists obtain firearms, and how the gun market is exploited to fuel gun violence. FinCEN must consult with the FBI, ATF, and gun sellers before gathering data, and must issue the advisory within 540 days - or if insufficient data is collected, submit a detailed report to Congress explaining the gaps. The bill directly affects financial institutions (by requiring data sharing) and indirectly impacts gun sellers (through consultation).
