SB387/HB425 "Public Safety - Untraceable Firearms" - Ban on Private Gun Ownership
HB425/SB387 "Public Safety - Untraceable Firearms"
These bills criminalize the possession of all unserialized firearms made after 1968 and any "unfinished frames or receivers" effective 1/1/2023.
Current owners, at their own cost, would need an FFL who provides marking services (FFL 07) to serialize every affected gun by 1/1/2023 to be in compliance. The serialization is prescribed in the bill to require the FFL's first three and last five numbers then a hyphen, and then "another number." Violators face up to 3 years of imprisonment and up to a $10,000 fine and forfeit gun rights. Each violation is a separate offense and the government doesn't need to demonstrate that violators intended to break the law.
