119th (2025–2027)
S. 4671
This bill increases federal criminal penalties for stealing firearms from licensed gun dealers and manufacturers. It amends existing federal law to impose a maximum 20-year prison sentence for knowingly violating firearms theft laws, with mandatory minimum sentences of at least 3 years for theft during a burglary and at least 5 years for theft during a robbery. The legislation affects anyone who commits or attempts to commit these crimes, as well as licensed firearms dealers, manufacturers, and importers whose inventory could be targeted. The bill does not include specific funding provisions or implementation timelines beyond the statutory amendments themselves. It was introduced in the Senate in June 2026 with bipartisan sponsorship and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
