SAGA Act

This bill, called the Second Amendment Guarantee Act, would stop states and cities from making gun rules for rifles and shotguns that are tougher than federal law. It says local rules about making, selling, buying, owning, or marking these guns cannot be stricter, and local penalties, fees, or taxes cannot be higher, than what federal law allows. If a state or city has such a rule—past, present, or future—it would no longer have any effect under this bill .

The bill also makes clear that “rifle or shotgun” includes gun parts, detachable magazines, and certain stock or grip designs. If someone sues and wins because a state or city broke these limits, the court must award the winner reasonable attorney’s fees in addition to other relief.

Key points:

• Who is affected: State and local governments; gun owners; gun sellers and makers.
• What changes: States and cities could not set stricter rules, higher penalties, or extra taxes/fees on rifles and shotguns than federal law; invalidates conflicting local laws; winners in lawsuits can get attorney’s fees .
• What it covers: Rifles and shotguns, plus their parts, detachable magazines, and certain grips or stocks.
