Blair Holt Firearm Owner Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2026

The Blair Holt Firearm Owner Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2026 requires most individuals to obtain a federal firearm owner license to possess handguns or semiautomatic rifles, with specific exemptions for licensed dealers, law enforcement, and minors under supervision. To get this license, applicants must submit detailed personal information, including fingerprints and mental health records, and undergo a background check administered by the Attorney General. The bill also mandates that licensed dealers record every sale or transfer of these firearms in a federal database and report the transaction details within 14 days. Additionally, the law prohibits unlicensed individuals from transferring firearms to other unlicensed people without the involvement of a licensed dealer and imposes strict penalties for failing to report lost or stolen guns or failing to notify authorities of address changes.
