Failure of Firearms Dealer to Keep Proper Record of Sale
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.]
