The "Making America Safe and Secure Act of 2025" (MASS Act) authorizes federal grants to states to encourage the implementation and maintenance of comprehensive firearms and firearms dealer licensing requirements. These grants, available for three fiscal years, aim to enhance public safety by supporting states in establishing robust licensing systems. States receiving grants must require individuals to obtain a firearms license for purchasing, renting, leasing, or possessing firearms and ammunition, with first-time applicants completing safety training . A thorough background check, including suitability determination, is mandated for all license applications. Additionally, states must require a firearms dealer license for entities selling a minimum number of firearms or ammunition, with dealers subject to criminal history investigations and operational standards like employee background checks and transaction record-keeping. The bill requires states to establish processes for license revocation, suspension, or denial, ensuring judicial review and prohibiting discrimination. It mandates procedures for family members to petition for extreme risk protection orders and for the surrender of firearms when licenses are revoked or individuals are subject to protective orders. Furthermore, states must ensure dealers and private sellers verify license validity, report all firearm and ammunition sales to state authorities, and require firearms to be secured in a locked container or with a safety device when not carried.
