Stop Militarizing Our Streets Act of 2026

It creates a two-track system: an outright ban on specified items and a broad compliance regime for other dealers that covers licensing, background checks, inventory and ammunition recordkeeping, security, training, and reporting.

• Would prevent DoD and government-owned plants from selling military-grade assault weapons or covered ammunition to commercial dealers and would stop DoD from procuring from manufacturers or dealers that sell those items in the commercial marketplace.
• Would force firearms dealers to hold the required federal licenses and would create a new license for ammunition dealers, require access to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System within 180 days, quarterly inventory checks, and an electronic ammunition ledger. Dealers must meet a time-to-crime test of no more than 24 traced crime guns in the past three years to qualify for DoD sales.
• Would limit transfers to 30-day caps of 500 rounds for covered ammunition and 1,000 rounds for other ammunition and would require NICS checks, mandatory anti-trafficking training, security measures, and refusal rules for intoxicated or dangerous buyers.
