Call to Action

Phone Calls & Witness Slips Needed

Witness Slip Instructions

Moments ago Amendment 1 to SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing was scheduled to be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The hearing is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 11:30 AM! This bill will close gun stores throughout the state.

 

 

Your Immediate Action is Needed!

Beginning tomorrow please call your State Senators to express your opposition to any form of state licensing of gun dealers. Politely ask them to Vote No on SB1657, should it come to a vote.

 

Contact information can be found here.

 

 

Witness Slips Needed!

In addition to phone calls, please file witness slips opposing Amendment 1 on SB1657, as well as Amendment 1 on SB234 Safety Tech. SB234 is an unusual bill as amended, proposing diversion programs for first time gun offenders but also including an element of dealer licensing.

Only Amend 1 is scheduled. I'm told SB234 will be sent to subcommittee but it can't hurt to include it while we're working against dealer licensing.

Did ISRA screw up their alert? They mention SB233 Amend 1 for tomorrow but it isnt on the schedule.

 

They're anticipating something that may or may not happen. Not a screw up. Just a different approach.

Don Harmon, Julie Morrison, Jacqueline Collins and Kwame Raoul, among others in that party, have been completely uncooperative in discussing ways to limit the state's out-of-control spending, budget crisis and horrible bond ratings. I hope all of the republicans in the senate tell them to stuff their gun dealer licensing bill.

Hit both for myself and HH6.

The ISRA e-mail had the wrong bill number, but when I saw old Don, I clicked it on a hunch, and wasn't surprised.
