HB 4921 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to the Second Amendment Preservation Act

HB 4921 prohibits federal agents or employees from enforcing federal firearms laws in West Virginia without specific congressional approval or due process. It makes such attempts a misdemeanor punishable by up to $500 fines or one year in jail, enforced by the West Virginia Attorney General. The bill directly affects federal officials attempting to compel state law enforcement to implement federal gun regulations. Its key provision blocks federal "commandeering" of state resources for firearms enforcement, aiming to prevent federal overreach under the guise of existing laws.
