Note: this doc was the original PRD used to create the first version of the app during the 2025 Everytown Veterans Advisory Committee retreat in Denver Colorado. # Overview The goal is to create an app that helps people 1) identify Federal Firearms License dealers (FFLs) that contribute to the trafficking of firearms and 2) take actions to reduce trafficking. Maintain a PRD that includes these initial requirements and is kept up to date as new changes are implemented. # User Journeys The app should support the following critical user journeys: * Find FFL's close to where they live * Find FFL's with the most violations * Find FFL's whose licenses are currently revoked, previously revoked, or have a history of investigation * Find FFL's with a specific type of violation, as defined by the ATF's "zero tolerance" policy * Find FFL's that sell specific types of weapons with a focus on those used most commonly used in mass shootings: https://smokinggun.org/guns-used-in-the-deadliest-u-s-mass-shooting/. * Browse a one-page listing for each FFL in the country that provides a snapshot overview of key statisics. User journeys should leverage familiar patterns like map-based zoom in/out, faceted navigation, dropdowns for common options. # FFL Listing Pages The listing page for each FFL will provide the following information: * Name of the business * Owner, if part of a franchise or bigger company * Contact information: address, phone, email * Contact information for the closest local government officials, e.g. city hall, city PD, that can be used to report violations. * Link to the Google Maps listing for this FFL * Types of weapons sold * List of violations by date * User contributed reviews The listing page for each FFL will support the following calls-to-action * Report suspicious activity with some default options, e.g. known criminal usage, straw purchases * Contact local government officials * Contact nearest ATF field office * Leave a review, with an option to generate review text that summarizes violations * Option to repost a review to the Google Maps listing for that FFL # ATF Zero Tolerance Policy Violations Here are the types of specific serious violations listed under the ATF's "zero-tolerance" policy: 1. Transferring a firearm to a prohibited person. 2. Failing to conduct a required background check. 3. Falsifying records, such as a Firearm Transaction Record (Form 4473). 4. Failing to respond to an ATF tracing request. 5. Refusing to permit the ATF to conduct an inspection. # Initial List of FFLs Generate a list of FFLs in the United States that are authorized to sell firearms to members of the public. Here's a list FFLs with reports of violations -- include these in the app. JA Industries: Nevada Westforth Sports: Gary, Indiana MKS Enterprises, Las Vegas, NV EZPawn: Sheridan, Colorado John's Sport Center: Bryan, Texas Allen's Armory: Stanton, California Dave's Gun Shop: Cheyenne, Wyoming Don's Guns: Indianapolis, Indiana **JA Industries (formerly Jimenez Arms):** This Nevada-based firearms manufacturer has faced scrutiny for its alleged role in supplying the illegal gun market.
