temporary removal of a firearm from another individual.
(b) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate
to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment,
amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would
establish, or appropriate funds for, a grant program that
awards funding to States on the condition that those States
implement a red flag law.
(c) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (b) may be waived or
suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative
vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly

the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under
