This bill requires the Attorney General to submit annual reports to Congress detailing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' enforcement actions against gun dealers, including the number of inspections conducted, licenses revoked or surrendered, serious violations identified, and reasons for not pursuing revocation in cases where violations were found. The bill defines "serious violations" as specific offenses such as refusing inspections, illegally transferring firearms, failing background check waiting periods, falsifying records, and not reporting thefts or multiple sales. Additionally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office to complete a study within one year examining whether systemic failures exist in how federal firearm licenses are issued and revoked, whether geographic disparities in enforcement occur, and what oversight occurs while revocation cases are pending. The Attorney General must publish all report information on the Bureau's website for public access. The legislation imposes no direct funding requirement but creates new reporting and study obligations for federal agencies.
