West Virginia HB4920 aims to nullify federal powers to regulate intrastate firearm sales within the state.

West Virginia HB4920, known as the Second Amendment Preservation Act, seeks to nullify any federal powers, specifically those of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), to regulate intrastate firearm sales and transfers within West Virginia. The bill asserts that federal laws, orders, regulations, or actions that restrict or prohibit such sales infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of U.S. and West Virginia Constitutions. It mandates that courts and law enforcement protect these rights and imposes civil and criminal penalties for violations.
