Revise laws related to firearms, ammunition, and accessories
HB 733 aimed to prohibit the enforcement of certain federal firearms laws within Montana. It would have prevented peace officers, state employees, and employees of political subdivisions from enforcing federal firearms laws, rules, executive orders, or regulations. This prohibition would apply to federal measures enacted after November 9, 1889, that are more restrictive than Montana's existing firearms laws. The bill was intended to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, with retroactive applicability to relevant federal laws adopted or interpreted more restrictively since November 8, 1889.
