Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to limit the authority of States and localities to regulate conduct, or impose penalties or taxes, in relation to rifles or shotguns.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA), aims to limit the ability of states and local governments to regulate rifles and shotguns beyond federal law. Specifically, the bill would prohibit states and local jurisdictions from imposing any regulations, prohibitions, registration requirements, or licensing standards for rifles and shotguns that are more restrictive than federal laws. The bill defines "rifle or shotgun" broadly, including not just the firearm itself, but also parts, detachable magazines, ammunition feeding devices, and various grip or stock designs. Any state or local law that contradicts these provisions would be rendered null and void. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that if someone successfully challenges a law as violating these restrictions, the court must award them reasonable attorney's fees. This legislation is designed to create a uniform, less restrictive national standard for rifle and shotgun ownership and regulation, potentially limiting state and local governments' ability to implement their own more stringent gun control measures.
