Summary
The Second Amendment Preservation Act declares any federal law, order, or regulation that restricts the sale, transfer, or possession of firearms, accessories, or ammunition within West Virginia to be invalid. It creates civil damages of $50,000 per violation and criminal penalties for federal agents who violate the act, and tasks the state Attorney General with defending residents and suing offending federal entities. The measure aims to protect what legislators view as constitutional gun rights from federal interference.
