d. Authorized user technology. The manufacturer parties to this
Agreement shall each commit two percent of annual firearms
sales revenues to the development of a technology that
recognizes only authorized users and permits a gun to be used
only by authorized persons. Within 36 months of the date of
execution of this Agreement, this technology shall be
incorporated in all new firearm designs, with the exception of
curios and collectors’ firearms. This requirement does not apply
to existing designs currently in production.
If the eight firearms manufacturers and/or importers with the
largest United States firearms sales volume agree to incorporate
authorized user technology in all firearms, the manufacturer
parties to this Agreement will incorporate authorized user
technology in all firearms.
e. Child safety. Within 12 months of execution of the Agreement,
each firearm shall be designed so that it cannot be readily
operated by a child under the age of 6. Such mechanisms
include: making the trigger pull resistance at least ten pounds in
the double action mode; or designing the firing mechanism so
that an average five year old’s hands would be too small to
operate the gun; or requiring multiple, sequenced actions in order
to fire the gun.
e. Large capacity magazines. No pistol make or model designed
after January 1, 2000 shall be able to accept magazines
manufactured prior to September 14, 1994, with a greater than 10
round capacity, and such models shall not be capable fo being
easily modified to accept such magazines. Nor shall ammunition
magazines that are able to accept more than 10 rounds be sold by
the manufacturer parties to this Agreement or their authorized
dealers and distributors. See part II.A.1.h below.
Sales and distribution.
In addition to complying with specific terms, the manufacturer parties to this
Agreement will agree for themselves and as part of any distribution or agency
agreement that they, and their authorized distributors and authorized dealers,
including franchisees, shall commit to a standard of conduct to make every
effort to eliminate sales of firearms that might lead to illegal firearm
possession and/or misuse by criminals, unauthorized juveniles, and other
prohibited persons (“suspect firearms sales”). Suspect firearm sales include
sales made to straw purchasers, multiple sales of handguns without reasonable
explanation (excluding sales to FFLs), and sales made to any purchaser
without a completed background check.
As specified in Part II.A.2 below, the manufacturer parties to this Agreement
will take action against dealers and distributors that violate these requirements
if the manufacturers receive actual notice of such a violation.
A. Authorized distributors and dealers.
1. The manufacturer parties to this Agreement may sell only to
authorized distributors and authorized dealers. In order to qualify
to become an authorized distributor or authorized dealer, the
distributor or dealer must agree in writing to:
d. Make no sales at gun shows unless all sales by any seller at
the gun show are conducted only upon completion of a
background check.
f. Implement a security plan for securing firearms, including
firearms in shipment. The plan must satisfy at least the
following requirements:
(1) Display cases shall be locked at all times except when
removing a single firearm to show a customer, and
customers shall handle firearms only under the direct
supervision of an employee;
(2) All firearms shall be secured, other than during
business hours, in a locked fireproof safe or vault in the
licensee’s business premises or in another secure and
locked area; and
(3) Ammunition shall be stored separately from the
firearms and out of the reach of the customers.
g. Require persons under 18 years of age to be accompanied
by a parent or guardian when they are in portions of the
premises where firearms are stocked or sold.
h. Not sell ammunition magazines that are able to accept more
than 10 rounds regardless of the date of manufacture, nor
sell any semi-automatic assault weapon as defined in 18
U.S.C. 921(a)(30) regardless of the date of manufacture,
provide safety locks and warnings with firearms, as
specified in Section 1 above, and sell only firearms that
comport with the design criteria of this Agreement.
i. Provide law enforcement, government regulators
conducting compliance inspections, and the Oversight
Commission, for purposes of determining compliance with
conditions imposed as a result of this Agreement, or for any
other authorized purpose, full access to any document
related to the acquisition and disposition of firearms
deemed necessary by one of those parties.
n. Require all employees to pass a comprehensive written
exam, which shall be developed by the manufacturers in
consultation with ATF and approved by the Oversight
Commission, on the material covered in the training before
being allowed to sell or handle firearms. Any employee
who fails to pass the exam shall be prohibited from selling
or handling firearms on behalf of the distributor or dealer.
The annual certification discussed in II.A.1.m above, will
include certification that all employees have passed the
exam.
