House Bill 45, the Louisiana Manufactured Firearms and Ammunition Act, is currently in the Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice. It would nullify federal regulations on any firearm made and retained within Louisiana.

This bill states, in part: “all regulation of intrastate commerce is expressly reserved to the authority of the states. Manufacturing and sales of certain firearms, firearm accessories,and ammunition which are manufactured solely within the borders of the state of Louisiana and deemed to be matters of intrastate commerce and are not subject to federal regulation.”

HB45 not only protects the firearms within the state of Louisiana, but will also encourage firearm manufacturers to move to Louisiana from oppressive state laws elsewhere.

Passing HB45 will also promote job growth and protect firearms within the state of Louisiana. Your help is needed to move this bill forward out of committee.
