What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act of 2025," aims to prevent the use of emergency declarations to implement gun control. It prohibits the President from using the National Emergencies Act or the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act for that purpose. Additionally, it prevents the Secretary of Health and Human Services from declaring a public health emergency to impose gun control. The bill further amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. These changes specifically address prohibitions on the possession, manufacture, sale, or transfer of arms, ammunition, feeding devices, or accessories.
