To prevent handgun violence and illegal commerce in handguns.

Summary: Anti-Gunrunning Act of 2001 - Amends the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to prohibit any licensed firearms importer, manufacturer, or dealer from selling, delivering, or transferring: (1) two or more handguns to any single person (other than a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer) during any 30-day period; or (2) a handgun knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the transferee has already received one or more handguns within the previous 30 days. Prohibits an unlicensed individual from receiving more than one handgun within any 30-day period. Specifies exceptions.Provides for imprisonment for up to five years (currently, one year) of a licensed dealer, importer, manufacturer, or collector knowingly making any false statement in connection with required firearms records.Extends the deadline for the destruction of records relating to handgun transfers subject to the waiting period from 20 business days to 35 calendar days after the date the transferee made the statement on the basis of which notice of the transaction was provided to the chief law enforcement officer of the transferee's place of residence. Requires the national instant criminal background check system, if receipt of a firearm would not violate Federal or State law, to destroy records relating to the person or the transfer within 35 calendar days after the system provides the licensee with the identification number unique to the transfer.

SEC. 2. PREVENTING GUN TRAFFICKING BY RESTRICTING HANDGUN TRANSFERS TO 
              ONE PER MONTH.

    (a) In General.--Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(z)(1) The Congress finds and declares that--
            ``(A) crime, particularly crime involving drugs and guns, 
        is a pervasive, nationwide problem;
            ``(B) crime at the local level is exacerbated by the 
        interstate movement of drugs, guns, and criminal gangs;
            ``(C) firearms and ammunition move easily in interstate 
        commerce;
            ``(D) the illegal movement of firearms, and handguns in 
        particular, across state lines is a widespread and pervasive 
        national problem;
            ``(E) handguns (even when lawfully purchased) are 
        unlawfully transported across state lines by gun traffickers 
        and are illegally sold to prohibited persons;
            ``(F) in fact, even before a firearm is illegally sold by a 
        trafficker, the gun, its component parts, ammunition, and the 
        raw materials from which it is made have moved in interstate 
        commerce;
            ``(G) law-abiding persons may fear to travel interstate or 
        to or through certain parts of the country due to concern about 
        violent crime and gun violence;
            ``(H) the illegal movement of handguns across state lines 
        substantially affects the national market for firearms, because 
        handguns sold in one State in which there are few restrictions 
        provide a convenient source for the acquisition of handguns by 
        gun traffickers who transport the handguns to jurisdictions 
        with stronger restrictions;
            ``(I) the unlawful sale of firearms by traffickers provides 
        a method by which firearms can be bought and sold anonymously, 
        without background checks and without record-keeping 
        requirements to enable gun tracing;
            ``(J) handguns sold by traffickers are often obtained by 
        criminals and other prohibited persons who frequently use guns 
        that cannot be traced to commit crimes;
            ``(K) handgun violence is a pervasive, national problem 
        that is exacerbated by the availability of handguns through gun 
        traffickers;
            ``(L) firearms from traffickers have been involved in 
        subsequent crimes including drug offenses, crimes of violence, 
        property crimes, and illegal possession by felons and other 
        prohibited persons;
            ``(M) because gun trafficking is often an interstate 
        activity, individual States and localities are often severely 
        hampered in combating illegal handgun purchases--even States 
        and localities that have made strong efforts to prevent, 
        detect, and punish gun-related crime and illegal trafficking of 
        firearms--as a result of the failure or inability of other 
        States or localities to take strong measures; and
            ``(N) the Congress has the power, under the interstate 
        commerce clause and other provisions of the Constitution, to 
        ensure, by enactment of this section, that criminals and other 
        prohibited persons do not obtain firearms through gun 
        traffickers.
    ``(2) It shall be unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed 
manufacturer, or licensed dealer--
            ``(A) during any 30-day period, to sell, deliver or 
        transfer 2 or more handguns to any single person (other than a 
        licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer), 
        or
            ``(B) to sell, deliver or transfer a handgun to any single 
        person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, 
        or licensed dealer), knowing or having reasonable cause to 
        believe that the transferee has already received one or more 
        handguns within the previous 30 days.
    ``(3)(A) It shall be unlawful for any person (other than a licensed 
importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer) to receive more 
than one handgun within any 30-day period.
    ``(B) Under such rules and regulations as the Secretary shall 
prescribe, subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the loan or rental of a 
single handgun solely for purposes of target shooting, provided that 
the recipient possesses no more than one such loaned or rented handgun 
at any one time.
    ``(4) Under such rules and regulations as the Secretary shall 
prescribe, paragraphs (2) and (3) shall not apply to--
            ``(A) handguns transferred to or received by qualified 
        private security companies licensed to do business within the 
        State where the transfer occurs for use by the company in its 
        security operations, provided that any handgun transferred 
        under this subsection is transferred through a licensed dealer 
        located in the State where the security company is licensed to 
        do business;
            ``(B) the disposition made of a handgun delivered to a 
        person licensed under section 923 for the sole purpose of 
        repair or customizing when such handgun or a replacement 
        handgun of the same kind and type is returned to the person 
        from whom it was received;
            ``(C) the loan or rental of a single handgun from a person 
        licensed under section 923, provided that the recipient 
        possesses no more than one such loaned or rented handgun at any 
        one time;
            ``(D) the redemption of pawned handguns from a person 
        licensed under section 923 by the person from whom the handguns 
        were received;
            ``(E) the receipt of curio or relic handguns by a licensed 
        collector;
            ``(F) the receipt of a single handgun from a person 
        licensed under section 923 to replace a lost or stolen handgun 
        of the same kind or type, where the transferee has submitted to 
        the licensee a copy of an official police report establishing 
        the loss or theft of a handgun or handguns;
            ``(G) the transfer of handguns by bequest;
            ``(H) the transfer of handguns to the transferor's spouse, 
        child, parent, stepparent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, or 
        sister; or
            ``(I) the transfer of all or part of a personal firearms 
        collection (as that term is defined in regulations to be 
        prescribed by the Secretary) that includes handguns, provided 
        that the handguns in the collection are transferred through a 
        licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer located in the State 
        where the transferee resides.''.
