Youth Handgun Safety Act Notice Rescission (ATF FFL Signage & Written Notice)
Current understanding
ATF has proposed rescinding the regulation requiring federal firearms licensees to post signs and provide written notice to handgun purchasers summarizing the Youth Handgun Safety Act’s prohibitions on juvenile handgun possession. The underlying statute would remain in force; only the point-of-sale informational disclosure obligation on dealers would be removed. Practical effect would reduce compliance burden on FFLs while eliminating a standardized channel through which handgun buyers are informed of restrictions on juvenile access.
