Frequently Asked Questions

What is HR 4202?

HR 4202, also known as the 'Multiple Firearm Sales Reporting Modernization Act,' is a proposed bill in Congress that aims to expand the federal requirement for reporting firearm sales. It would mandate that Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) report sales of two or more of any type of firearm, not just handguns, within five business days to the ATF.

How does HR 4202 change current firearm sales reporting laws?

Currently, 18 USC 923(g)(3)(A) requires FFLs to report sales of two or more handguns (pistols or revolvers) within five business days. HR 4202 proposes to replace 'pistols, or revolvers' with 'firearms,' thereby extending this reporting requirement to all types of firearms sold in multiple quantities to the same person.

Has HR 4202 or similar legislation passed before?

No, HR 4202, or similar versions of this bill, have been introduced in Congress multiple times. They have historically failed to gain significant traction or support. For example, a previous version, HR 7904, reportedly had only four co-sponsors, indicating a lack of broad legislative backing.

Who is affected by the proposed changes in HR 4202?

The primary entities affected would be Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs), who would be required to implement new reporting procedures for sales involving any type of firearm. Law-abiding citizens purchasing two or more firearms would also be subject to this expanded reporting requirement.
