Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has introduced a new bill in Congress that would essentially undo some of New York’s recent gun regulations, and bar similar measures across the country.

This past Tuesday, Stefanik announced in a news release that she had joined Congressman Darrel Issa, R-Calif., in introducing the Modern Firearm Safety Act, which would bar both New York and California from maintaining some of the most recent safety requirements for handguns and other firearms.

The act, which is relatively short with only 47 lines of text, would bar any state in the U.S. from passing or maintaining legislation that requires firearms have technology like a loaded chamber indicator, magazine disconnect mechanisms, or microstamping.

In a statement, Stefanik said the bill is a push to push back on gun safety or gun control bills at the state level, and attacked Gov. Kathy Hochul specifically.

“I am proud to introduce the Modern Firearm Safety Act to put a stop to the unconstitutional gun-grabbing agenda pushed on law-abiding American citizens by far left Democrats like Kathy Hochul,” she said. “My legislation would ban Albany Democrats from imposing illegal handgun roster requirements meant to deter gun ownership.”

Her colleague on the bill, Issa, said the safety requirements being barred by this bill are attempts to infringe on the Second Amendment.

“These rosters impose excessive and unnecessary requirements that only restrict access to modern firearms equipped with the most up-to-date safety features,” he said.

The bill has not yet been formally introduced in Congress or assigned to a committee in the House.

It has no companion legislation in the U.S. Senate, and if it doesn’t see action before the end of December the bill will die and need to be reintroduced in the new Congressional term next year.
