Federal Firearms Act - Prohibits the transfer to or receipt by one individual of two or more handguns in a period of 30 days or less, unless authorized by a Federal statute by the Secretary of the Treasury. Prohibits the transfer of a handgun to an individual if the transferor knows the purchase or possession of such gun by that individual would be in violation of Federal, State, or local law.

Prohibits the production of concealable handguns, as defined by this Act, except as authorized by the Secretary. Prohibits knowingly bringing into the United States any handgun part intended for use in the assembly of a concealable handgun. Prohibits knowingly receiving such handgun parts.

Allows licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers to sell a handgun to an individual (other than a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer) only if such individual appears in person at the licensee's business premises and submits to the transferor a sworn statement that receipt of the handgun will not be in violation of any law and that the gun is not intended to be transferred to a person legally barred from owning or possessing it. Requires the buyer to show identification as prescribed by the Secretary. Requires the transferor to send a copy of the sworn statement to the chief law enforcement officer of the jurisdiction in which the gun will be kept, in order that such officer may determine whether the transfer would result in violation of State or local law.

Prohibits delivery of the handgun to the buyer for at least 14 days after submission of the sworn statement. Allows the transfer to take place if the transfer is not advised 28 days after the submission of the statement to the appropriate law enforcement officer that the transfer would result in violation of the law.
