The "Stop Militarizing Our Streets Act of 2026" restricts the Department of Defense's ability to buy and sell military-grade assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition in the commercial marketplace, while establishing strict standards for any firearms and ammunition dealers who want to do business with the federal government. These dealers must obtain federal licensing, conduct background checks, implement security measures, train employees, track inventory, and comply with new purchase limits of 500 rounds of covered ammunition per person per 30 days, along with a code of conduct designed to prevent illegal sales. The bill defines key terms such as "military-grade assault weapon" (semi-automatic firearms that can accept magazines holding more than 10 rounds) and requires annual reporting from government-owned ammunition and firearm plants and the Department of Defense on their commercial activities and procurement sources. The legislation also authorizes additional funding for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to support implementation of these requirements. This bill affects the Department of Defense, firearms and ammunition manufacturers and dealers, and entities cooperating with the military on weapons procurement and sales.
