S. 3909: Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act

This bill, titled the Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act, proposes changes to the legal restrictions surrounding the possession of firearms and ammunition by certain non-citizens, specifically focusing on government entities. Here are the key points summarizing what the bill aims to do:

Amendment to Firearm and Ammunition Regulations

The bill seeks to amend the existing law in Title 18 of the United States Code, which currently prohibits certain aliens from possessing firearms and ammunition. The changes primarily focus on a specific section of the law that outlines who is prohibited from using firearms and ammunition.

Prohibition Scope

More specifically, it intends to extend the prohibition to include the use of firearms and ammunition by government entities, meaning that if certain individuals—classified under specified subsections—are engaged in governmental roles, they would also be subject to these firearm restrictions.

Impacted Subsections

The bill will modify Section 925(a)(1), by removing references to specific provisions concerning aliens and instead referencing expanded subsections. The relevant subsections that will be included are:

• (d)(5) – relating to the conditions under which certain aliens are prohibited from firearms possession.
• (d)(9) – focusing on additional restrictions concerning firearms.
• (g)(5) – detailing further classifications of prohibited individuals.
• (g)(9) – elaborating on specific concerns regarding certain firearm possession by non-citizens.

This adjustment aims to clarify and enforce existing regulations regarding who can or cannot be entrusted with firearms in government roles, particularly as it pertains to non-citizen individuals working in governmental capacities.

Goals of the Legislation

Overall, the intent behind the Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act is to reinforce firearm safety regulations by ensuring that specific classes of individuals—likely to include those categorized as illegal aliens or certain categories of non-citizens—are not able to use firearms in any governmental capacity.

Potential Impacts

• This could affect the regulations surrounding law enforcement agencies that may employ non-citizens.
• It may result in changes to hiring practices for certain governmental roles.
• Overall firearm policy within governmental agencies could become stricter.
