Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Second Amendment Restoration Act of 2025 would repeal the gun-related provisions of the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which had expanded background check requirements for young gun buyers, created new gun trafficking offenses, and funded state efforts to include juvenile records in firearm background checks. The bill would restore federal firearm laws to their status before the 2022 law took effect and eliminate federal funding for states to provide juvenile criminal records to the background check system. Introduced by a group of House Republicans, the bill argues these provisions impose unnecessary burdens on Second Amendment rights without demonstrated public safety benefits. The legislation targets provisions affecting background checks, gun trafficking penalties, and school safety funding initiatives. No specific funding amounts or implementation timeline are specified in the bill text.
