Representative Rob Bishop, RUT, along with 49 other cosponsors, introduced the Lawful Purpose and Self Defense Act. HR 2710 aims to restrict the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from banning ammunition used in AR15 rifles.
Additionally, this Bill would modernize the 1968 Gun Control Act, and further prohibit the ATF’s ability to restrict other firearms and ammunition, such as shotguns and shotgun shells commonly used for self-defense.
