This bill would require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, to study and report on guns being trafficked along Interstate 95. The report would be sent to Congress within one year of the law taking effect and then every year after that. It is meant to help lawmakers and law enforcement better understand how firearms are being moved illegally along the I-95 corridor and what can be done to stop it.
- The ATF would work with state and local law enforcement, and other groups if needed, to prepare the report.
- The report would count the number of firearms trafficked along I-95 and list where the guns came from, along with their make and model.
- It would also review how well current anti-trafficking efforts are working and how federal, state, and local laws affect gun trafficking.
- The report would include recommendations for better law enforcement action, plus any needed changes in law or funding to improve efforts to stop gun trafficking.
