In House comittee yesterday, SB337 Gun Dealer Licensing - Various and SB2387 Regulation Tech were approved for consideration and now appear on the House Calendar. On the floor, both bills were then read a second time and were held at second reading. They can see a final action vote in a single day.

 

 

Two bills passed out of the Senate yesterday:

 

SB2640 State Police - Firearms

 

HB4855 FOID Renewal & Suspension

 

Having passed both bodies, these bills will be sent to the Governor.

 

I've removed these bills from our list below, as well as HB1273 Gun Dealer Licensing Trailer Bill. As a trailer to SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing this became moot once the veto override period ended on SB1657. It, too, is also now beyond the ability to override it.

 

 

Finally, three new House Bills were filed yesterday:

 

HB5888 Crim Cd Bump Stock & Trigger Crank Ban (Olsen)

 

HB5889 Crim Cd Firearm Waiting Period (72 Hours for all Firearms) (Wehrli, Olsen)

 

HB5890 Gun Crime Charging & Sentencing (Batinick)

 

We will monitor these closely.

 

 

The House is scheduled for 9:30 AM today. The Senate is scheduled for 10:30 AM.

 

Rumor has it that session has been cancelled for Saturday and Sunday. Because of that I'm showing the "Next Days Scheduled" as 5/28/2018.

 

 

My availability continues to be uncertain.

 

 

Next Days Scheduled

 

House: 5/28/2018 @ 3:00 PM

Hmmm, so the House has effectively created bills for every part of the Governors Amended Veto EXCEPT the death Penalty portion.

HB5891 Crim Cd Death Penalty Murder was also filed, by Representative Costello. I didn't mention it because it isn't really our issue.

 

AH. makes political sense. House can say, "see we put forward your package, so sorry death penalty didn't pass".

Yes, but the gun bills are being carried by Republicans. If they pass, its a Republican win on a liberal issue from a certain point of view.

 

The death penalty bill is being carried by a Democrat, so a Democrat win on an issue perceived to be conservative if that passes.

 

Something about politics making strange bedfellows?

Hmm, Dem Representative uses argument about current Bill (non gun bill missed what it is, something about facial recognition for Law Enforcement). "We can't use public safety concerns to take away people's rights" (I paraphrase). Hrumpf, yea, unless it's the Second Amendment we are talking about.

 

Edit: Something about using Drones for LE.

 

LOTS of people saying we can't take away liberty for safety. Invasion of privacy, take away our liberties, etc. etc. YEP SAME THING AS GUN CONTROL LAWS you buffoons.
