To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide that the prohibition on the possession of firearms and ammunition by certain aliens shall apply with respect to the use of firearms and ammunition by government entities.

# HR 7703 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would amend federal law to extend existing restrictions on firearm and ammunition possession by certain non-citizens to also restrict government agencies' use of firearms and ammunition. Currently, federal law prohibits certain categories of aliens (non-citizens) from possessing firearms and ammunition. This bill would expand that prohibition to prevent government entities from using firearms and ammunition in connection with these restricted individuals—essentially applying the same restrictions to government operations that already apply to the individuals themselves. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill would primarily affect government agencies and law enforcement that work with non-citizens, as well as the non-citizen populations subject to existing firearm restrictions.

The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Mary E. Miller (R-Illinois).
