# 54 U.S.C. § 104906 - Protection of right of individuals to bear arms
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Findings.— Congress finds the following:
|
||
|
||
(1) The 2d amendment to the Constitution provides that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.
|
||
|
||
(2) Section 2.4(a)(1) of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, provides that “except as otherwise provided in this section and parts 7 (special regulations) and 13 (Alaska regulations), the following are prohibited: (i) Possessing a weapon, trap or net (ii) Carrying a weapon, trap or net (iii) Using a weapon, trap or net”.
|
||
|
||
(3) The regulations described in paragraph (2) prevent individuals complying with Federal and State laws from exercising the 2d amendment rights of the individuals while at System units.
|
||
|
||
(4) The existence of different laws relating to the transportation and possession of firearms at different System units entrapped law-abiding gun owners while at System units.
|
||
|
||
(5) Although the Bush administration issued new regulations relating to the 2d amendment rights of law-abiding citizens in System units that went into effect on January 9, 2009—
|
||
|
||
(A) on March 19, 2009, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia granted a preliminary injunction with respect to the implementation and enforcement of the new regulations; and
|
||
|
||
(B) the new regulations—
|
||
|
||
(i) are under review by the Obama administration; and
|
||
|
||
(ii) may be altered.
|
||
|
||
(6) Congress needs to weigh in on the new regulations to ensure that unelected bureaucrats and judges cannot again override the 2d amendment rights of law-abiding citizens on 83,600,000 acres of System land.
|
||
|
||
(7) Federal laws should make it clear that the 2d amendment rights of an individual at a System unit should not be infringed.
|
||
|
||
(b) Protection of Right of Individuals To Bear Arms in System Units.— The Secretary shall not promulgate or enforce any regulation that prohibits an individual from possessing a firearm, including an assembled or functional firearm, in any System unit if—
|
||
|
||
(1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm; and
|
||
|
||
(2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the law of the State in which the System unit is located.
