To direct the Attorney General to prioritize the investigation and prosecution 
of Federal firearms offenses, and for other purposes. 

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mrs. WAGNER introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 

Committee on the Judiciary 

A BILL 
To direct the Attorney General to prioritize the investigation 

and prosecution of Federal firearms offenses, and for 
other purposes. 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-1

tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 2

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 3

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Prosecuting Gun 4

Crimes Saves Lives Act’’. 5

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 6

The Congress finds as follows: 7

(1) Promoting public safety, addressing gun- 8

based homicides, and enforcing Federal firearms 9

laws are among the highest priorities of the Con-1

gress. 2

(2) Point-of-sale background checks can reduce 3

the risk of gun-based homicides by preventing crimi-4

nals and prohibited persons from purchasing fire-5

arms while protecting access for law-abiding citizens. 6

(3) Under the Gun Control Act of 1968, cat-7

egories of persons who may pose a threat to public 8

safety, including violent felons, fugitives from jus-9

tice, and persons convicted of domestic violence 10

crimes, are prohibited from shipping, transporting, 11

receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition. 12

(4) Thousands of prohibited persons illegally at-13

tempt to purchase firearms every year. In 2017, the 14

FBI’s NICS Section referred 112,090 denied trans-15

actions to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms 16

and Explosives (ATF). Of these NICS denials, only 17

12, or 0.09 percent, were prosecuted in 2017. 18

(5) On March 12, 2018, former Attorney Gen-19

eral Jeff Sessions issued a memo directing Depart-20

ment of Justice prosecutors to prioritize ‘‘vigorous 21

and appropriate’’ prosecution of cases involving false 22

statements on Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Ex-23

plosives Form 4473. The memo stated that ‘‘Crimi-24

nals and other prohibited persons who attempt to 25

thwart the background check process by lying on the 1

required forms threaten to undermine this important 2

crime prevention tool’’ and that ‘‘we must vigilantly 3

protect the integrity of the background system 4

through appropriate prosecution of those who at-5

tempt to circumvent the law’’. The Department of 6

Justice’s efforts to reclaim the integrity of the back-7

ground check system yielded a 23-percent increase 8

in the number of defendants charged with unlawful 9

possession of a firearm in the 3 months following 10

issuance of the memo. 11

(6) On November 13, 2019, Attorney General 12

William Barr announced the launch of a new initia-13

tive, Project Guardian, to reduce gun-based homi-14

cides by investigating, prosecuting, and preventing 15

firearm crimes. Project Guardian will address gun- 16

based homicides by encouraging coordinated pros-17

ecution efforts, enforcement of the background check 18

system, improved information-sharing, response to 19

mental health denials, and crime gun intelligence co-20

ordination. 21

(7) Congress must ensure Federal, State, and 22

local entities tasked with preventing prohibited indi-23

viduals from purchasing firearms, recovering fire-24

arms from prohibited individuals, and investigating 25
