## Summary

**Use financial intelligence to trace how domestic extremists buy guns.** This bill would require the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to collect financial information and issue an advisory about how homegrown violent extremists and other domestic terrorists procure firearms and accessories. - Financial institutions would be asked to provide information within 1 year. The request would be treated like a suspicious transaction report and would be tailored to the size of each institution. - FinCEN must consult with the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and sellers of firearms and accessories before requesting information, and must define key terms by rule within 90 days. - Not later than 540 days, FinCEN would issue the advisory if it has enough information. If not, it must report to the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee explaining the data collected, participation levels, and barriers to getting information.
