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

This bill would require people who possess handguns or semiautomatic rifles that can accept detachable magazines holding more than 10 rounds to hold a federal firearm owner license or a federally certified state license. Applicants would submit fingerprints, a photo, and mental health record authorization, pay a fee of no more than $10, and the license would last about 5 years. Licensed dealers would have to verify a buyer's license and report each sale of these firearms to a federal record of sale system. Most private gun transfers would have to go through a licensed dealer, with exceptions such as transfers between close family members. The bill would also require owners to report lost or stolen firearms within 72 hours and would make it a crime to store a gun where a child can access it and then uses it to cause death or serious injury.
