Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act

This bill changes a federal gun law exemption that currently lets government agencies, including police departments and the military, give firearms and ammunition to people who would otherwise be barred from having them. Under the bill, that exemption would no longer cover the existing federal ban on gun possession by certain non-citizens, such as those unlawfully present in the United States or in the country on certain temporary visas. As a result, those individuals could not possess or be given firearms or ammunition even when working for a government entity. The bill does this by adding the non-citizen provisions to the list of rules that already apply to government use, which currently includes only the ban on people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence.
