(4) The existence of different laws relating to the transportation and 
possession of firearms at different System units entrapped law-abiding 
gun owners while at System units. 
(5) Although the Bush administration issued new regulations relating 
to the 2d amendment rights of law-abiding citizens in System units that 
went into effect on January 9, 2009— 
(A) on March 19, 2009, the United States District Court for the 
District of Columbia granted a preliminary injunction with respect 
to the implementation and enforcement of the new regulations; and 
(B) the new regulations— 
(i) are under review by the Obama administration; and 
(ii) may be altered. 
(6) Congress needs to weigh in on the new regulations to ensure that 
unelected bureaucrats and judges cannot again override the 2d amend-
ment rights of law-abiding citizens on 83,600,000 acres of System land. 
(7) Federal laws should make it clear that the 2d amendment rights 
of an individual at a System unit should not be infringed. 
(b) PROTECTION OF RIGHT OF INDIVIDUALS TO BEAR ARMS IN SYSTEM 
UNITS.—The Secretary shall not promulgate or enforce any regulation that 
prohibits an individual from possessing a firearm, including an assembled or 
functional firearm, in any System unit if—
