Gun Trafficker Detection Act

Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Bill 119 HR 1456, also known as the "Lost or Stolen Firearms Reporting Act," aims to address the issue of lost or stolen firearms not being reported to law enforcement authorities in a timely manner. The bill proposes that individuals who have lost or had their firearms stolen must report the incident to law enforcement within 48 hours of discovering the loss or theft.

The main purpose of this legislation is to help prevent these firearms from falling into the wrong hands and being used in criminal activities. By requiring prompt reporting of lost or stolen firearms, law enforcement agencies can take necessary steps to track down the missing weapons and prevent potential harm to the public.

In addition to the reporting requirement, the bill may also include provisions for penalties for individuals who fail to comply with the reporting mandate. This could include fines or other consequences for those who do not report lost or stolen firearms within the specified timeframe. Overall, the Lost or Stolen Firearms Reporting Act seeks to improve public safety by ensuring that law enforcement is promptly informed of missing firearms, thereby reducing the risk of these weapons being used in illegal activities.
