Some good, some bad.
If you aren't active in defeating the first two bills, they will pass in today's environment. The following are gun bills released so far. Bills with an "X" before them are anti-gun bills. Those with a "+" before them are pro-gun bills, and those with nothing before them are either neutral or simply make no sense. X SB 346 Creates crime of unlawfully transferring large capacity magazine. Punishes by maximum of one year’s imprisonment, $6,250 fine, or both X SB 347 Modifies crime applicable to possession of firearm, or instrument used as dangerous weapon, while in or on school grounds.

seems SB 346 is criminalizing the FTF sale of magazines over 10 rounds, didnt read anything about unable to posses in there. So does this mean unable to purchase online or storefront?
HB 2368 is stating The public body receives a written request for disclosure; (B) The public body determines that a compelling public interest requires disclosure in the particular instance; and (C) The disclosure is limited to the name, age and county of residence of the holder or applicant; (e)(A) The disclosure is limited to confirming or denying that a person convicted of a person crime, or restrained by a protective order, is a current holder of a concealed handgun license; Seems kind of broad and could be abused for releasing names even though only stating county isnt hard to find peoples address nowadays. |
