Plain-English Summary

This bill would require federal firearms dealers and shooting ranges to remain open during government shutdowns so that law-abiding citizens can continue to purchase guns and ammunition and practice at ranges. The measure aims to prevent temporary lapses in government funding from interrupting Americans' Second Amendment rights and the firearms industry's ability to operate.
