This bill, introduced in the House of Representatives, aims to make the penalties for stealing a firearm from a Federal firearms licensee more severe. The proposed law is called the Federal Firearms Licensee Protection Act of 2023.
The bill suggests amending a section of the United States Code to include harsher penalties for individuals who knowingly steal firearms or attempt to do so. The proposed changes include fines, imprisonment for up to 20 years, and longer sentences if the theft occurs during a burglary or robbery.
