House Bill 2 and House Bill 335 criminalize private transfers of firearms without first paying fees, with limited exceptions. Most transfers between friends, neighbors, or fellow hunters are not exempted. These proposals would have no impact on crime and are completely unenforceable.

House Bill 9 victimizes gun owners who suffer loss or theft of their property with a fine if they don’t report a lost or stolen firearm within 24 hours of discovering them missing.

House Bill 421 allows local governments to enact their own gun control ordinances, potentially resulting in a patchwork of laws and the Second Amendment not being equally protected across the state.

House Bill 72, House Bill 463, and House Bill 1083 severely restrict parental decisions about firearms in the homewhile attaching excessive penalties for violations.

House Bill 674 allows the seizure of an individual’s firearms on baseless accusations without a hearing or other opportunity for the person to be heard in court. It permits the government to seize firearms based on weak evidence and nebulous standards of evidence.

A person subject to a suspension of a Constitutional right should be entitled to high evidentiary standards, an opportunity to be heard, and the right to face his or her accusers. Civil liberties advocates from across the political spectrum have expressed concerns these “red flag” bills  and how the procedure might lead to abuses of the process because of insufficient due process protections in the bill.

House Bill 812 and House Bill 1502 would arbitrarily ration an individual’s right to lawfully purchase a handgun to once within 30 days.

Again, please call committee members and ask them to OPPOSE these bills.
