Bill aims to protect Second Amendment rights during emergencies and disaster situations.
The problem
Concerns that emergency powers during disasters could restrict citizens' firearm rights and access to weapons for self-defense.
The proposal
Establishes protections preventing government from seizing firearms or restricting gun rights during declared emergencies or public health crises.
The impact
Gun owners gain legal protection against firearm confiscation during emergencies. Law enforcement and emergency managers may face new limitations on authority.
Safeguards Second Amendment rights during emergencies when government powers are broadest. Prevents potential government overreach in seizing private weapons. Protects a constitutional right explicitly.
Allows citizens to retain firearms for personal protection during crises when police response may be delayed. Maintains security for families in chaotic situations.
Establishes explicit boundaries on emergency government powers. Provides citizens legal recourse if authorities violate firearm rights. Creates predictable rules.
May limit law enforcement ability to control weapons in dangerous disaster situations. Could complicate emergency management in active threats. Restricts tools officials use to stabilize crises.
During emergencies, uncontrolled firearms access could increase accidents or misuse. Riot or chaos situations might become more dangerous. Mental health crises may involve armed individuals.
Creates legal conflicts between federal and state emergency powers. May result in lawsuits between governments. Unclear rules during actual crises when clarity matters most.
Some emergency firearm restrictions have survived legal challenge as reasonable. Bill may overturn established emergency management practices. Prevents situational flexibility officials currently have.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
