Dossier Legislative introduced 16-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

To authorize possession of a firearm in certain units and facilities of the Federal Government, and for other purposes.

Key claim: HR9719 would authorize possession of a firearm in certain units and facilities of the Federal Government.

Abstract

(HR9719 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-16): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 930) generally bars firearms in federal facilities, with limited exceptions; HR9719 would broaden lawful possession in certain units and facilities, shifting the balance between Second Amendment carry rights and workplace/visitor safety in government buildings. The practical effect would depend on which categories of facilities and which classes of possessors are covered, affecting federal employees, contractors, and members of the public who visit these sites.
