Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2026
# Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2026 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would create a federal "extreme risk protection order" system that allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed to pose a significant danger to themselves or others. If passed, it would establish a legal process where law enforcement, family members, or other authorized parties could petition a court for an order to confiscate guns from someone in crisis. The person would have the opportunity to be heard in court before and after the order is issued, and the order would be temporary, requiring renewal if it's to remain in effect long-term. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily affect gun owners who are identified as posing an immediate threat, as well as courts, law enforcement agencies, and families seeking to prevent potential violence. Key provisions would likely include due process protections (the right to a hearing and legal representation), a mechanism for restoring firearms once the danger has passed, and guidance for states on implementing similar programs. This would apply across all states as a federal standard, though some states already have their own "red flag" laws with similar provisions. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House. It would need to pass both the House and Senate before going to the President for approval.

Assault Weapons Ban of 2025
# Summary of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** If passed, HR 3115 would make it illegal to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines. The bill includes exemptions for certain firearms like bolt-action rifles, antique guns, and specific models identified in the legislation. Law enforcement, military, and retired police officers would be exempt from the restrictions. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily affect gun owners, manufacturers, and dealers who deal in the restricted weapons. Importantly, people who already own these weapons would be allowed to keep them ("grandfathered in"), but would need to store them securely.

This is a Democratic-sponsored proposal that reflects ongoing debate over gun regulation in Congress. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives.
