(3) Section 27.42 of title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, 
provides that, except in special circumstances, citizens of the 
United States may not ‘‘possess, use, or transport firearms 
on national wildlife refuges’’ of the United States Fish and 
Wildlife Service. 
(4) The regulations described in paragraphs (2) and (3) 
prevent individuals complying with Federal and State laws 
from exercising the second amendment rights of the individuals 
while at units of— 
(A) the National Park System; and 
(B) the National Wildlife Refuge System. 
(5) The existence of different laws relating to the transpor-
tation and possession of firearms at different units of the 
National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge System 
entrapped law-abiding gun owners while at units of the 
National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge System. 
(6) Although the Bush administration issued new regula-
tions relating to the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding 
citizens in units of the National Park System and National 
Wildlife Refuge System 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 enforce-
ment of the new regulations; and 
(B) the new regulations— 
(i) are under review by the administration; and 
(ii) may be altered. 
(7) Congress needs to weigh in on the new regulations 
to ensure that unelected bureaucrats and judges cannot again 
override the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens 
on 83,600,000 acres of National Park System land and 
90,790,000 acres of land under the jurisdiction of the United 
States Fish and Wildlife Service. 
(8) The Federal laws should make it clear that the second 
amendment rights of an individual at a unit of the National 
Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System should 
not be infringed.

IN UNITS OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM AND THE NATIONAL WILD-

possessing the firearm; and 
(2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with
