Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Bill 119 HR 223, also known as the "Prohibition of Funding for Federal Red Flag Orders Act," aims to prevent the use of federal funds for the implementation and enforcement of red flag laws. Red flag laws allow for the temporary confiscation of firearms from individuals who are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.

The bill specifically targets the funding of federal red flag orders, which have been a controversial topic in recent years. Supporters argue that red flag laws can help prevent gun violence and protect individuals from harm, while opponents argue that they infringe on Second Amendment rights and can lead to potential abuses of power.

If passed, this bill would effectively block the federal government from using any resources to carry out red flag orders, leaving the enforcement of such laws up to individual states. This could have significant implications for the future of gun control measures in the United States. Overall, Bill 119 HR 223 represents a significant pushback against the implementation of red flag laws at the federal level, highlighting the ongoing debate over gun control and individual rights in the United States.
