Federal Laws

Federal Statutes and Regulations

There are an overwhelming number of federal laws and statutes that pertain to firearms ownership, transfer and possession.  It is beyond the present scope of this site to list all of these or index them.

Many of the more common federal laws fall under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or more commonly the ATF.

ATF publishes several publications which firearms owners and licensees will find useful.

  • ATF P 3312.7 – National Tracing Center Division – Information for Law Enforcement Agencies

  • ATF P 3315.2 – Bullets, Casings and You
  • ATF P 3317.2—Safety and Security Information for Federal Firearms Licensees (Revised October 2004)
  • ATF P 5300.4 – Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide 2005 (9/05)
  • ATF P 5300.5 – State Laws and Published Ordinances – Firearms (2005 – 26th Edition)
  • ATF P 5300.11 – Firearms Curios or Relics List (1972 – 2001)
