S 2188 United States Senate · 119th Congress

ATF DATA Act

This bill requires the ATF to publish annual reports on firearm trace data, breaking down details like which dealers sold firearms later recovered in crimes. The reports must include data on "time-to-crime" (how quickly firearms are used in crimes), firearm types, locations of recoveries, and whether sales involved multiple firearms. It specifically tracks firearms sold by licensees, privately made guns, and firearms reported lost or stolen, disaggregated by dealer type, state, and crime patterns. The data aims to improve transparency for law enforcement and the public without changing gun laws or regulations.
