Bill overview
The Local Public Health and Safety Protection Act aims to encourage states to allow local governments to enact stricter gun control laws than state laws. It would provide grants from the Department of Justice to states that permit local regulations on firearms, and these states would then distribute subgrants to local governments that have implemented such restrictions. The bill focuses on issues like background checks, public carry, ammunition sales, firearm licensing, safe storage, taxes on firearms, and specific types of weapons, recognizing local communities’ unique needs in addressing gun violence.
