H.R. 6734: Stopping Unconstitutional Background Checks Act

This bill is introduced in the House of Representatives to prohibit the use of federal funds to finalize, implement, or enforce a proposed rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The proposed rule, entitled 'Definition of 'Engaged in the Business' as a Dealer in Firearms', is targeted by this bill.

The bill, introduced by Mr. C LYDE and co-sponsored by numerous Representatives, aims to prevent the ATF from using federal funds to make the proposed rule final or enforce it. The bill argues that the proposed rule, which defines the term 'Engaged in the Business' as a Dealer in Firearms, is considered unconstitutional and should not be funded by federal resources.

The bill is referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration.

Rep. Jody Arrington
