Bill overview
This bill, titled the "Second Amendment Preservation Act," aims to protect West Virginia’s ability to regulate firearm sales and transfers within the state. It asserts that the federal government’s authority to regulate these intrastate activities exceeds its constitutional bounds and seeks to nullify any federal laws or regulations that interfere with West Virginia’s right to bear arms. The bill establishes penalties for federal agencies and individuals who attempt to enforce such regulations, and empowers the Attorney General to defend West Virginia citizens against federal legal action.
