What this amendment would do

SA 4677, submitted by Mr. Coons, aims to change the law by adding a new section to Section 922 of title 18, United States Code.

The purpose of this amendment is to make it unlawful to sell or dispose of a firearm to any individual unless they provide specific documentary proof of their citizenship or alien status.

The required documentation depends on the individual's status:

United States citizens must present documentary proof of citizenship as defined in the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
Aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence must present documentary evidence of that status, such as a permanent resident card (Form I-551), and a separate document proving residency.
Aliens lawfully admitted under a nonimmigrant visa who meet criteria under subsection (y)(2) must present a document showing proof of residency, a photo identification document, and documentation proving they are a lawfully admitted nonimmigrant visa holder meeting those specific criteria.
