Summary:

In response to complaints about the government's efforts to trace firearms used in crimes, GAO surveyed federally licensed gun dealers and pawnbrokers whose records on firearms sales had been inspected by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). This briefing report discusses: (1) whether licensees had encountered problems with ATF's compliance inspections; (2) whether licensees had complained to ATF about their problems; (3) whether those licensees who complained believed that ATF had fairly addressed their concerns; and (4) how well licensees believed that ATF was carrying out its regulatory responsibilities.
