This legislation, titled the "Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act," seeks to amend title 18 of the United States Code to restrict government entities from providing firearms or ammunition to certain individuals. Specifically, it modifies Section 925(a)(1) to expand the list of prohibitions that apply to the United States government, its departments, agencies, and state or local subdivisions. The amendment adds subsections 922(d)(5) and 922(g)(5), which prohibit the sale, disposal, or possession of firearms and ammunition by aliens unlawfully or illegally in the United States, to the list of restrictions from which government entities are not exempt . Currently, government entities are generally exempt from these prohibitions when acting in an official capacity, but by including these subsections, the bill would prevent government agencies from legally equipping or allowing firearm possession by individuals who are aliens illegally or unlawfully in the United States , even for official government duties. This measure aims to close a potential loophole and ensure that federal, state, and local government entities adhere to these specific firearm restrictions.
