AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act of 2021," aims 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. Specifically, it would prevent the President from declaring a national emergency or major disaster under the National Emergencies Act or the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act for the purpose of restricting firearm ownership, and it would also prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from declaring a public health emergency under the Public Health Service Act for the same purpose. Additionally, the bill would amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to prohibit the government from banning the manufacturing, sale, or transfer of firearms or ammunition during an emergency or disaster declaration.
