Anti-gun legislators pushing assault weapon bans, red flag laws, and new permit schemes across multiple states
The USCCA has compiled a comprehensive breakdown of firearm legislation threatening law-abiding citizens this year. Among the most dangerous proposals: expanded so-called "assault weapon" bans targeting common semi-automatic rifles, new extreme risk protection order (ERPO) systems that strip gun rights without due process, and permit-to-purchase schemes designed to create barriers between Americans and their constitutional rights.
These bills follow a familiar playbook โ punish responsible gun owners while doing nothing to address actual criminal violence. Red flag laws, in particular, allow firearms to be confiscated based on accusations alone, with gun owners forced to prove their innocence after the fact. This inverts our entire legal system.
Gun owners must stay vigilant and engaged with their state legislators. Every unconstitutional law that passes emboldens the next attack on the Second Amendment. Know what's coming in your state and fight back at the ballot box and in your statehouse.
