Description

U.S. firearms laws currently govern the possession and transfer of firearms and provide penalties for the violation of such laws. “Gun trafficking” includes the movement or diversion of firearms from legal to illegal markets. This report includes legal analyses of 3 ATF-investigated, Southwest border gun trafficking cases to illustrate the fed. statutes that are violated as part of wider gun trafficking schemes. The report concludes with possible policy questions for Congress regarding the magnitude of Southwest border gun trafficking, the use and significance of ATF crime gun trace data, the possible ratification of an Inter-American Gun Trafficking Convention, and the adequacy of the federal statutes designed to deter and reduce illegal gun trafficking.
