Relating to the Second Amendment Preservation Act

HB 2450, titled "The West Virginia Second Amendment Preservation and Anti-Federal Commandeering Act," prohibits state agencies and employees from being compelled by the federal government to enforce federal firearms laws. It makes it a misdemeanor for federal agents or employees to attempt enforcing any federal decree or writ related to firearms without specific congressional approval, punishable by up to $500 fines or one year in jail. The bill directs the West Virginia Attorney General to enforce these provisions. It does not change state gun laws but targets federal overreach in enforcement mechanisms. The bill was introduced in the West Virginia House on February 17, 2025, and referred to the Judiciary Committee.
