(Washington, DC) — Rep. Dusty Johnson is introducing a bill to make it easier for tribal members to access guns. The Tribal Firearm Access Act would update federal law to recognize tribal ID’s as valid documents for purchasing a firearm. Johnson introduced the bill, alongside Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. The National Shooting Sports Foundation backed the measure and the bill was cosponsored by three other Republicans in the House. Johnson says the ability of a citizen to exercise their Second Amendment rights, “shouldn’t exclude someone for being a tribal member.”
