What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act," aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code. It seeks to stop the Federal Government from collecting firearm transaction records from firearms businesses that have been discontinued. The legislation requires the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to destroy all such records currently held that were delivered under section 923(g)(4). Additionally, it amends the law to prevent future firearm registration by striking specific sentences from section 923(g)(4). Finally, the Director must report the total number of destroyed records to Congress.
