SB1165 FOID "Modernization" Act - Two Republicans jumped on as co-sponsors. If these are your senators, you should call them and let them know this is a mistake to support this bill.

 

4/14/2021 Senate Added as Co-Sponsor Sen. John F. Curran 4/14/2021 Senate Added as Co-Sponsor Sen. Donald P. DeWitte

 

 

They would have us believe they are supporting this bill in order to ward off the "Fix the FOID Act." They are both bad and neither one should have a single republican vote.

Was that something they said to IC? I can't find (meaning Google can't find) any public comments from either of them on the bill.

 

If Rs are getting behind the bill, we're screwed.

For this type of thing Ill usually go look at their Twitter, FB, web site, or party caucus page where they may seem more inclined to blurt a comment out.

 

Looks like Curran also co sponsored gun dealer licensing bill!
