Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Modern Firearm Safety Act?

The Modern Firearm Safety Act is a bill introduced by Republican Congressmen Daryl Issa and Elise Stefanik. Its primary goal is to eliminate handgun roster laws in states like California and New York, which restrict the sale of certain firearm models based on design features.

Why are handgun roster laws considered unconstitutional?

Handgun roster laws are argued to be unconstitutional because they limit the selection of firearms available to law-abiding citizens, artificially inflate prices, and restrict access to modern firearms with safety features, thereby undermining Second Amendment rights.

What specific firearm features are targeted by these roster laws?

Roster laws often mandate features such as loaded chamber indicators, magazine disconnect mechanisms, and microstamping. The Modern Firearm Safety Act aims to prevent states from requiring these or other features not already mandated by federal statute.

What is the 'common use' test in relation to firearm laws?

The 'common use' test is a legal standard used to determine Second Amendment protections. It suggests that firearms in common use by law-abiding citizens are presumptively protected, and restrictions on them are subject to strict scrutiny.
