Second Amendment Restoration Act of 2025
To repeal the firearm-related provisions of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
Summary
This bill would repeal the firearm-related provisions of the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and restore federal firearms laws to their status before that act was enacted. It would revert changes made to sections of the U.S. Code governing firearms sales, background checks, and related regulations, including provisions in the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act. The bill would also eliminate federal funding for state programs that expand juvenile records access to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System for firearm eligibility determinations. Education-related provisions from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act dealing with firearms would also be repealed. The effect would be to undo federal firearms regulations and safety measures adopted in 2022 and return to the previous legal framework.
