HB1401 would have prevented state or local agencies from implementing or enforcing “red flag” gun-control laws, and it would have prevented them from accepting federal money to enforce those laws.
The North Dakota State House of Representatives rejected HB1401 on February 20, 2023 by a vote of 33 to 60. We have assigned pluses to the nays because red-flag laws are a gross violation of our 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendment rights. Ultimately, the right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and should not be infringed upon.
