§ 104906. Protection of right of individuals to bear arms 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The 2d amendment to the Constitution provides that 
‘‘the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not 
be infringed’’. 
(2) Section 2.4(a)(1) of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, 
provides that ‘‘except as otherwise provided in this section 
and parts 7 (special regulations) and 13 (Alaska regulations), 
the following are prohibited: (i) Possessing a weapon, trap 
or net (ii) Carrying a weapon, trap or net (iii) Using a weapon, 
trap or net’’. 
(3) The regulations described in paragraph (2) prevent 
individuals complying with Federal and State laws from exer-
cising the 2d amendment rights of the individuals while at 
System units. 
(4) The existence of different laws relating to the transpor-
tation 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 injunc-
tion with respect to the implementation and enforcement 
of the new regulations; and
H. R. 1068—76 
(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 amendment 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 fire-
arm, including an assembled or functional firearm, in any System 
unit if— 
(1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from 
possessing the firearm; and 
(2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the 
law of the State in which the System unit is located.
