Federal Firearms Licensee Protection Act of 2026
A bill to amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to enhance penalties for theft of a firearm from a Federal firearms licensee.
This bill, SB4671, aims to increase the penalties for stealing a firearm from a Federal firearms licensee. This means if someone illegally takes a gun from a store or dealer that has a federal license to sell firearms, they could face harsher punishments. The bill was introduced on June 3, 2026, and has been referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary for further review and discussion.
The bill would affect federal firearms licensees, which include gun stores, pawn shops, and other businesses legally selling firearms. If passed, these businesses would have stronger legal protection against theft of their firearms. Criminals who steal from these businesses would face stricter penalties, potentially including longer jail time and higher fines.
As of June 3, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the appropriate committee. The next steps involve committee review, potential amendments, and a vote to decide if it moves forward in the legislative process.
