 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

This bill makes it unlawful for a person who is not a licensed gun dealer to transfer a firearm at a gun show.

The prohibition does not apply to a transfer to a licensed manufacturer, importer, dealer, or collector.

A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term, or both.
