✔️ HB614
Enact the Second Chance Safety Act
Summary
The bill enacts the Second Chance Safety Act, which provides civil immunity to federally licensed firearm dealers or law enforcement agencies that enter into a firearm hold agreement with the owner of a firearm. The agreement allows the dealer or agency to take possession of the firearm for a specified period and return it afterward. It also requires the dealer or agency to provide the owner with a pamphlet containing mental health resources and firearm safety device information.
Rationale
The bill supports the principles of individual rights and self-defense by facilitating firearm ownership and providing legal protections for firearm dealers and law enforcement. However, it introduces some regulatory measures that may not align perfectly with the Libertarian platforms, leading to a slightly lower alignment score.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government involvement in firearm transactions
- Possibility of misuse of the firearm hold agreements
