A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to provide that the prohibition on the possession of firearms and ammunition by certain aliens shall apply with respect to the use of firearms and ammunition by government entities.

S. 3909 was introduced on February 25, 2026, by Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and five cosponsors, all Republicans. The bill amends 18 U.S.C. § 925(a)(1) to extend existing prohibitions on firearm possession by certain aliens (under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)) to government entities. This means that if enacted, government agencies could not provide firearms or ammunition to aliens who are prohibited from possessing them under current law. The bill is in the earliest legislative stage—referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee—and has not been marked up or reported. There is no companion bill passed in the House, though an identical bill (H.R. 7703) has been introduced. The bill does not authorize or appropriate any funding, nor does it create any new spending programs, tax credits, or procurement opportunities. As a criminal law enforcement policy change, it has no direct impact on publicly traded companies or market sectors. The legislative path requires committee consideration, floor votes in both chambers, and presidential action, which is unlikely in the current session given the bill's limited cosponsorship and lack of committee activity.
