The DROS Entry System, or DES, is DOJ's electronic system through which firearms dealers submit transaction information and receive related department notifications. [1] DOJ's completed rulemaking also describes use of DES by ammunition vendors for ammunition transactions. [2] The system is therefore an administrative reporting and communication platform, with different record types, rather than the name of a firearm certificate or a single determination about a person's eligibility in every circumstance.
