Gun Control Groups Freak Out Over House Passage of 'Law Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act'

Summary

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the 'Law Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act,' which seeks to amend the Gun Control Act to exclude less-than-lethal products like stun guns from the definition of firearms. This legislative move, aimed at reducing regulatory burdens, highlights what proponents see as hypocrisy from gun control groups like Brady and Giffords, who oppose the bill despite advocating for reduced police violence. Gun owners should note this federal legislation as it involves a statutory amendment to the Gun Control Act, potentially setting precedents for how 'firearms' are defined.
