Summary of Bill HR 1097

Bill 119 hr 1097, also known as the Secure Firearms Act, aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code to impose specific requirements on federally licensed firearms importers, manufacturers, and dealers regarding the security of their firearms inventory, business records, and business premises.

Under this proposed legislation, these firearms entities would be required to implement measures to secure their firearms inventory, such as using safes or lockable cabinets, alarm systems, and surveillance cameras. They would also need to maintain accurate and up-to-date business records to track the movement of firearms in and out of their possession.

Additionally, the Secure Firearms Act mandates that these entities must secure their business premises to prevent unauthorized access to firearms. This could include installing security measures such as fences, gates, and security personnel. The goal of this bill is to enhance the security of firearms in the possession of federally licensed firearms importers, manufacturers, and dealers to prevent theft, loss, or illegal diversion of these weapons. By imposing these requirements, the legislation aims to promote responsible gun ownership and reduce the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands. Overall, the Secure Firearms Act seeks to strike a balance between protecting Second Amendment rights and ensuring the safe and responsible handling of firearms by licensed entities.
