Regulate Firearm Storage

Scott helped pass Ethan’s Law, which builds a structure to regulate the storage of firearms on residential premises at the federal, state, and tribal levels. An individual who violates the requirements is subject to criminal penalties. A firearm stored in violation of the requirements is subject to seizure and forfeiture.

Ban Assault Weapons

Scott was an original lead on Assault Weapons Ban of 2025, which serves the purpose of regulating assault weapons, while ensuring the second amendment is not violated. The bill remains widely bipartisan, with the goal of enhancing public safety.

Expand Background Checks

Scott helped pass Enhanced Background Checks, establishing more stringent background check requirements for proposed firearm transfers from a federal firearms licensee to an unlicensed person. It increases the amount of time, from 3 business days to a minimum of 10 business days, that a federal firearms licensee must wait to receive a completed background check prior to transferring a firearm.
