18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(5)

It’s a Federal crime for a federally licensed firearms dealer to sell [a firearm]

[armor-piercing ammunition] to anyone without keeping a record about the

purchaser.

The Defendant can be found guilty of this crime only if all the following

facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:

(1) the Defendant was a federally licensed firearms dealer when the

alleged offense occurred;

(2) the Defendant sold or delivered [a firearm] [armor -piercing

ammunition] to [buyer’s name]; and

(3) the Defendant knowingly and willfully failed to record the name,

age, and address of [buyer’s name] as required by law.

[A “firearm” is any weapon designed to or readily convertible to expel a

projectile by the action of an explosive. The term includes the frame or receiver of

any such weapon or any firearm muffler or silencer.]

[“Armor-piercing ammunition” is a projectile or projectile core that may be

used in a handgun and is constructed almost entirely from any one or a

combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or

depleted uranium. The term includes any full- jacketed projectile larger than .22

caliber that is designed and intended for use in a handgun and has a jacket weight

greater than 25 percent of the projectile’s total weight.]
