This bill focuses on stopping the import and spread of parts that convert guns into machineguns. It defines a "machinegun" and a "machinegun conversion device." The Attorney General, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Secretary of the Treasury must create and start a strategy within 120 days to prevent or intercept importation or trafficking of these conversion devices. The strategy must cover detection, coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement, tracing recovered devices (including identifying domestic or foreign origin), training, data collection on origins, and detecting domestically produced devices such as those made with 3D printing. The bill also requires an initial report on the strategy within 120 days and updates at least every two years to specified congressional committees. It amends Internal Revenue Code section 5872 to allow forfeiture of proceeds from the illegal trafficking of machineguns and defines illegal trafficking to include making, manufacturing, importing, exporting, or transferring in violation of the tax chapter. Finally, the Attorney General must include information about machinegun conversion devices in the annual firearms trafficking report, including the number of crimes using these devices and whether recovered devices were made in the United States or abroad.
