No Trace Act of 2021

No Trace Act of 2021

This bill establishes a framework to prohibit federal, state, and local entities from obtaining geolocation information about U.S. persons without a warrant.

At the federal level, it generally prohibits federal agencies from obtaining geolocation information about a U.S. person without first obtaining a warrant. State and local governments must generally have in effect substantially similar policies to be eligible for funds under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program and the Community Oriented Policing Services program.

Additionally, the bill directs the Government Accountability Office to study the compliance of federal agencies and state and local governments.

Bill 117 hr 3707, also known as the No Trace Act of 2021, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to address the issue of gun violence by implementing stricter regulations on firearms.

The No Trace Act of 2021 focuses on improving the tracking and tracing of firearms in order to prevent illegal gun trafficking and reduce the number of firearms used in crimes. The bill includes provisions that require all firearms to be marked with a serial number that is easily traceable by law enforcement agencies. This would make it easier for authorities to track the ownership and movement of firearms used in criminal activities.

Additionally, the bill calls for the establishment of a national database of firearms, which would store information on all firearms sold, transferred, or used in crimes. This database would be accessible to law enforcement agencies across the country, allowing for better coordination and communication in tracking firearms. Furthermore, the No Trace Act of 2021 includes measures to strengthen background checks for individuals purchasing firearms. This would help prevent individuals with a history of violence or mental illness from obtaining firearms legally. Overall, the No Trace Act of 2021 aims to improve the tracking and tracing of firearms in order to reduce gun violence and enhance public safety. It is currently being debated in Congress, with supporters arguing that it is a necessary step towards addressing the issue of gun violence, while opponents raise concerns about potential infringements on Second Amendment rights.
