          TITLE III--SECOND AMENDMENT ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 2014

       This title may be cited as the ``Second Amendment 
     Enforcement Act of 2014''.

     SEC. 302. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution 
     provides that the right of the people to keep and bear arms 
     shall not be infringed.
       (2) As the Congress and the Supreme Court of the United 
     States have recognized, the Second Amendment to the United 
     States Constitution protects the rights of individuals, 
     including those who are not members of a militia or engaged 
     in military service or training, to keep and bear arms.
       (3) The law-abiding citizens of the District of Columbia 
     are deprived by local laws of handguns, rifles, and shotguns 
     that are commonly kept by law-abiding persons throughout the 
     United States for sporting use and for lawful defense of 
     their persons, homes, businesses, and families.
       (4) The District of Columbia has the highest per capita 
     murder rate in the Nation, which may be attributed in part to 
     local laws prohibiting possession of firearms by law-abiding 
     persons who would otherwise be able to defend themselves and 
     their loved ones in their own homes and businesses.
       (5) The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended by the 
     Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986, and the Brady 
     Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, provide 
     comprehensive Federal regulations applicable in the District 
     of Columbia as elsewhere. In addition, existing District of 
     Columbia criminal laws punish possession and illegal use of 
     firearms by violent criminals and felons. Consequently, there 
     is no need for local laws which only affect and disarm law-
     abiding citizens.
       (6) Officials of the District of Columbia have indicated 
     their intention to continue to unduly restrict lawful firearm 
     possession and use by citizens of the District.
       (7) Legislation is required to correct the District of 
     Columbia's law in order to restore the fundamental rights of 
     its citizens under the Second Amendment to the United States 
     Constitution and thereby enhance public safety.
