The primary goal is to increase penalties for those who steal firearms from a Federal firearms licensee. It modifies section 924 to include specific prison terms for certain crimes. Specifically, it targets violations that occur during a burglary or a robbery. The bill also clarifies the definition of burglary within the context of business premises for licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers.
