To prohibit the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from declaring certain emergencies or disasters for the purpose of imposing gun control.
This bill would prevent the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from using emergency declarations to impose gun control measures. Specifically, it blocks the President from declaring emergencies under the National Emergencies Act or the Stafford Disaster Relief Act for the purpose of controlling firearms, and prohibits the HHS Secretary from declaring public health emergencies to restrict guns. The bill also amends the Stafford Act to explicitly prohibit federal disaster relief authorities from restricting the possession, manufacture, sale, or transfer of firearms, ammunition, ammunition feeding devices, or firearms accessories. The legislation essentially aims to protect gun rights during national emergencies and disaster situations by preventing the federal government from using these crisis declarations as a tool for firearm restrictions. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the bill.
