Firearms Owners Protection Act (FOPA)

The Firearms Owners Protection Act (FOPA) of 1986 is a U.S. law designed to protect the rights of gun owners. It addresses various issues related to firearms regulation, including restrictions on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and makes it illegal to confiscate firearms during a national emergency. FOPA also allows gun owners to transport firearms across state lines, provided they comply with local laws. Overall, the act aims to balance gun ownership rights with government regulations.
