SA 805. Mr. COBURN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 601, to provide for the conservation and development of water and related resources, to authorize the Secretary of the Army to construct various projects for improvements to rivers and harbors of the United States, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: At the end of title II, add the following: SEC. 20__. PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM VIOLENT CRIME. (a) Findings.--Congress finds that-- (1) the Second Amendment of the Constitution provides that ``the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed''; (2) section 327.13 of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations provides that, except in special circumstances, ``possession of loaded firearms, ammunition, loaded projectile firing devices, bows and arrows, crossbows, or other weapons is prohibited'' at water resources development projects administered by the Secretary; (3) the regulations described in paragraph (2) prevent individuals complying with Federal and State laws from exercising the Second Amendment rights of the individuals while at the water resources development projects; and (4) Federal laws should make it clear that the Second Amendment rights of an individual at a water resources development project should not be infringed. (b) Protecting the Right of Individuals To Bear Arms at Water Resources Development Projects.--The Secretary shall not promulgate or enforce any regulation that prohibits an individual from possessing a firearm, including an assembled or functional firearm, at a water resources development project covered under part 327 of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of enactment of this Act), if-- (1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm; and (2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the law of the State in which the water resources development project is located. ______
