The Stop Militarizing Our Streets Act of 2026 would add a new section to Title 10 of the U.S. Code. It would bar the Department of Defense (DoD) and government-owned plants from selling military-grade assault weapons or covered ammunition to dealers in the commercial marketplace. It would also bar the DoD from buying from manufacturers or dealers that sell those weapons or ammunition in the commercial market.
The bill sets rules for other firearms and ammunition sales and procurement. Dealers must meet new requirements to sell to or be bought from by the DoD. Those requirements include having a license, limits on how much ammunition a single person can buy in 30 days, maintaining electronic inventory and ammunition records, following security measures, completing employee training, and passing traceability standards based on ATF tracing data. The Attorney General would write regulations, make new licenses available for ammunition dealers, and allow licensed ammunition dealers to use the NICS background-check system. The bill requires annual reports from government-owned plants and from the Secretary of Defense about commercial sales, customers, and procurement. It also authorizes appropriations to the Attorney General to carry out the changes, including upgrading and maintaining the NICS background check system.
The bill authorizes the appropriation of "such sums as are necessary" to the Attorney General to implement the changes, including upgrades to the NICS background check system. No publicly available information on total cost estimates or budget amounts is included in the bill text.
