What it does
The Federal Firearms Licensee Protection Act of 2026 would increase penalties for stealing firearms from federally licensed firearms dealers, importers, or manufacturers. It would impose a maximum prison sentence of 20 years for knowingly violating or attempting to violate the prohibition on theft of firearms from such licensees, with mandatory minimums of at least 3 years if the theft occurs during a burglary and at least 5 years if it occurs during a robbery. The bill also clarifies definitions of burglary and robbery in this context and extends the penalty enhancement to include attempts to commit the offense.
