Proposal summary
ATF proposed amending Department of Justice firearms regulations to provide additional clarity regarding conduct prohibited by federal law and commonly described as a straw purchase.
Dealer takeaway
This remains proposed rulemaking. Dealers should continue applying current statutes, regulations, Form 4473 instructions, and established anti-straw-purchase procedures while monitoring for any final rule.
