H.R. 1097 is a rule that wants gun sellers to keep their guns and records safe, and if they don't, they might have to pay a fine or lose their license. This rule also lets the person in charge suggest other ways to keep things safe, like using alarms.

Imagine a rule that says people who sell or make toy guns must keep them very safe by putting them behind strong bars or in locked boxes, and they might have to add cameras or alarms. If they don't follow these rules, they could be in trouble and have to pay money, or they could lose their license to sell or make toy guns.
