## Summary

**Would bar the Department of Defense from buying or selling through commercial dealers that offer military‑grade assault weapons and would set strict standards for firearms and ammunition dealers.** It would try to reduce the flow of military‑style arms and high‑caliber ammunition into the civilian market by limiting who DoD can do business with and by requiring new licensing, traceability, transfer limits, recordkeeping, training, and reporting rules. - Families and communities: Aims to cut diversion of military‑grade weapons and covered ammunition into neighborhoods by blocking DoD sales to dealers linked to those items and by limiting transfers. Dealer eligibility includes a trace standard of no more than 24 crime‑traced guns with a time‑to‑crime under 3 years and ammo transfer caps of 500 rounds for covered ammo or 1,000 rounds for other ammo per 30 days. - Dealers and sellers: Would require federal firearms licenses, mandatory NICS background checks, remotely searchable electronic records for guns and ammo, and completion of a required training course within 90 days for current employees and 30 days for new hires. - DoD, enforcement, and oversight: Prevents DoD and government‑owned plants from buying or selling through dealers that market military‑grade assault weapons or covered ammunition. It directs the Attorney General to create an ammunition dealer license, allows ATF trace data sharing with DoD, and requires annual reports to Congress on commercial sales and DoD procurement.
