Full Analysis
- What happened: On January 16, 2025, Senator Risch introduced S.119, the 'No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act.' It was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary the same day. The bill has 11 cosponsors and a companion bill, H.R. 563, in the House. It is in very early legislative stages with no committee hearings, markups, or votes. 2) The money trail: Zero dollars. S.119 authorizes no spending and appropriates no funds. It mandates ATF destroy existing records and removes record-delivery requirements—purely a regulatory change with no procurement, grant, or tax credit mechanism. 3) Structural winners and losers: None. The bill affects only closed gun dealerships—entities that no longer exist and had zero public equity market exposure when operational. No publicly traded company's revenue, costs, or competitive position is impacted by this bill. The firearms industry's public tickers (e.g., Smith & Wesson $SWBI, Sturm Ruger & Co. $RGR) are manufacturers and active retailers, not entities affected by out-of-business record retention rules. 4) Timeline: The bill has seen no action since its referral to committee in January 2025. With a Republican-controlled Senate but Judiciary Committee chair Sen. Chuck Grassley's focus on other priorities, this bill is very low priority. Passage in the 119th Congress is unlikely.
