- limit the disclosure of data under the Freedom of Information Act,
- prohibit imposing a requirement that gun dealers conduct a physical inventory,
- prohibit consolidating or centralizing records maintained by federal firearm licensees (e.g., gun dealers), and
- require national instant criminal background check records to be destroyed within 24 hours.
