Plain-English Summary

The federal government would provide money to states that create licensing programs for gun dealers, similar to how some states already license other businesses. States that set up these dealer licensing systems could receive federal grants to help cover the costs of running them. This would allow states to have more control over regulating who can legally sell firearms within their borders.
