Today, the Senate Judiciary C Committee deferred anti-gun SB 211, a "red flag" measure that grants the government the authority to confiscate a person's firearms based on mere speculation and hearsay evidence. After opposition testimonies, the committee voted not to advance SB 211, and then it was voluntarily deferred. Thanks to all the NRA members and Second Amendment supporters who stayed vigilant in opposing SB 211.
In addition, yesterday, the House voted 81-14 to pass HB 289, which enhances and strengthens protections for the state’s firearm and ammunition industry members.
HB 289, authored by Rep. Dewith Carrier, is a pro-Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) bill that further protects the firearm and ammunition industry from being held responsible for the third-party misuse of products they manufacture or sell. This bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary C Committee and could be heard next week.
