Blocks federal leaders from using emergencies to impose gun control.
This bill would stop the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from declaring emergencies specifically to put gun control rules in place. It also makes sure that during natural disasters, state and local officials cannot ban owning or selling firearms, ammunition, or related accessories.
Today, the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services can declare emergencies without specific laws stopping them from doing so to impose gun control. Also, during disasters, while some gun confiscation is banned, other gun control measures are not explicitly prohibited. If this bill passes, these federal officials would be blocked from declaring emergencies for the purpose of gun control, and state and local authorities would be explicitly prevented from banning the possession, sale, or transfer of firearms, ammunition, or accessories during federally declared disasters.
