What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Second Amendment Guarantee Act" or the "SAGA Act," aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code. It seeks to limit the authority of States and local governments to regulate rifles or shotguns. Specifically, it targets regulations, prohibitions, or requirements related to the design, manufacture, sale, or possession of these items. It also aims to prevent states from imposing penalties or taxes that are more restrictive or higher than those provided under Federal law. The bill defines rifles or shotguns to include parts, detachable magazines, ammunition feeding devices, and specific grip or stock designs.
