Stop Militarizing Our Streets Act of 2026

This bill would bar the Department of Defense and private operators of government-owned plants from selling military-grade assault weapons or ammunition larger than .22 caliber to dealers in the commercial market. It would also bar the Department from buying from gun or ammunition makers and dealers that sell those items commercially. For other firearms and ammunition, the Department could only sell to or buy from businesses whose dealers meet set requirements, such as background checks, security systems, employee training, ammunition purchase limits, and electronic records. The bill would create federal licenses for ammunition dealers, allow them to use the national background check system, and require yearly reports to Congress from the Department and government-owned plants.
