To amend title 18, United States Code, to expand the definition of school zone, to prohibit the transfer and possession of ghost guns, and for other purposes.
This bill would make two major changes to federal gun laws. First, it expands gun-free school zones from 1,000 feet to 5,000 feet around schools and would extend these protections to early childhood education programs. Second, it bans the manufacture, transfer, and possession of "ghost guns"—untraceable firearms that lack serial numbers and can be assembled from parts at home. The bill affects gun owners nationwide and individuals seeking to obtain firearms, as it would make it illegal to own or transfer these unserialized weapons. The legislation was introduced in June 2023 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, though no specific funding or implementation timeline is detailed in the text provided.
