AR–15 National Gun Act

H.R. 1095, known as the AR-15 National Gun Act, is a brief piece of legislation that proposes designating the AR-15 style rifle as the "National Gun of the United States." Specifically, the bill applies this designation to models chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO rounds.

If enacted, the bill would establish the rifle as a national symbol, similar to how the bald eagle is the national bird or the rose is the national flower. The bill does not contain provisions that would change existing firearm regulations, federal funding, or the legal rights of gun owners and manufacturers.
