HR 9054 United States House · 118th Congress

Safeguarding Veterans 2nd Amendment Rights Act of 2024

This bill prohibits Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees from initiating, participating in, or advocating for the removal of firearms under state risk-based protective orders. It specifically targets state "gun confiscation laws" that allow temporary firearm removal through court orders. The law directly affects veterans who might face state-level gun confiscation proceedings and VA staff handling such cases. Key provisions ban VA involvement in these state proceedings, ensuring veterans' firearms cannot be seized based on state risk orders during VA-related processes. The bill focuses on restricting VA actions, not altering state gun laws or veterans' rights.
