A bill to enforce the rights protected by the Second and Fourteenth Amendments against the States.

# Summary of S. 4013 **What the Bill Would Do:** S. 4013 aims to enforce Second Amendment (gun rights) and Fourteenth Amendment protections against state governments. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the basic information available, bills with this title typically seek to override or limit state and local gun regulations by asserting that the Second Amendment applies uniformly across all states.

Such legislation would likely prevent states from enforcing their own stricter gun control laws. **Who It Affects:** This bill would impact gun owners, state governments, and anyone subject to state firearm regulations. States with stricter gun laws—particularly on issues like background checks, permit requirements, or restrictions on certain weapons—would be most affected, as the bill could invalidate those laws. It would also affect public safety officials and organizations focused on gun regulation. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. No action has been taken at this stage.
