Shall Not Be Infringed Act of 2023
HR 3212, the "Shall Not Be Infringed Act of 2023," repeals or prevents funding for numerous gun control measures across federal agencies. The bill eliminates funding for Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) modernization efforts, blocks Department of Veterans Affairs programs related to firearm storage, and prohibits CDC and NIH from funding research on firearm injury prevention. It also repeals specific provisions from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act related to background checks and domestic violence restrictions, and prevents the use of federal funds for red flag laws or gun registries. The bill directly affects federal agencies and programs that implement gun control measures, including ATF, VA, HHS, CDC, NIH, and the Department of Education.
