HB461 provides that a firearm seized from an individual at an airport shall be returned to that individual if they are the rightful owner of and may lawfully possess the firearm.
The House passed HB461 on February 24, 2023, by a vote of 58 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill helps to restore the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. The Second Amendment guarantees that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” while the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment prevent “any State” from depriving or denying “any person” of their “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
