RRLEF Act of 2025

This bill would require state and local governments applying for Byrne Justice Assistance Grants to certify that they and their subgrantees will not sell firearms to, or buy firearms from, licensed gun dealers on a federal list. A dealer would be placed on the list if, in at least two of the prior three years, at least 25 guns traced to that dealer were recovered in connection with a crime within three years of their last retail sale. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) would publish this list online each year and notify law enforcement agencies when guns they transferred were traced to crimes. The bill would also remove past spending-law limits that have restricted ATF from publicly disclosing gun trace data in future years.
