    How would the 48-hour reporting requirement affect gun owners in rural areas with limited law enforcement access?

  2. 02

    What evidence suggests that tracking lost and stolen firearms would reduce gun trafficking compared to current methods?

  3. 03

    Should states redirect existing justice grant funds to this reporting system, and what programs might lose that 5% in resources?
