Summary

The bill makes it illegal to sell, transfer, possess, or transport firearms or unfinished frames/receivers that lack a serial number, unless the buyer is a federal firearms dealer, importer, or manufacturer. It requires all such items, especially those made with 3‑D printers, to be marked with a serial number by a licensed federal dealer. The goal is to close a loophole that lets untraceable guns circulate.
