SAGA Act
2/11/2025, 5:53 AMSummary of Bill HR 373
Bill 119 hr 373, also known as the "Firearm Interstate Commerce Reform Act," aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code in order to restrict the power of States and local governments to regulate the use, possession, or taxation of rifles or shotguns. The bill seeks to ensure that the regulation of these firearms remains within the jurisdiction of the federal government, rather than being subject to varying laws and penalties at the state and local levels.If passed, this legislation would limit the ability of States and localities to impose restrictions or taxes on the sale, possession, or transportation of rifles or shotguns. This would help to create a more uniform set of regulations across the country, making it easier for gun owners to understand and comply with the law.
Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to protect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners and prevent a patchwork of conflicting regulations that could make it difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their right to bear arms. Critics, however, raise concerns about the potential for increased gun violence and the erosion of local control over firearm regulations. Overall, Bill 119 hr 373 represents a significant effort to clarify and streamline the regulation of rifles and shotguns in the United States, while also sparking debate about the balance between federal and local authority in gun control laws.
