I have been watching the various gun bills that have been pre-filed this session. As you can imagine after the Florida shooting, it’s going to be a real show at the capital with every anti-gun rabble rouser in the state in attendance.
There are the following bills:
• HB277 Marcelle – Aged 21 to purchase “Assault Weapons”
• HB400 Bagneris - 10 Day Waiting Period to purchase firearms
• HB448 G.Carter - Gun Seizure Orders
• HB473 P.Smith - Bans ‘Rapid Fire’ Devices (bump stocks) but is potentially worded to outlaw (not regulate, but OUTLAW) legal NFA registered items
• HB603 Moreno - ‘Assault Weapon Registration/Ban’
• SB155 T.Carter - Aged 21 to purchase ALL firearms.
• SB383 T.Carter - Ammo Registry making retailers keep logs of who purchased what ammo and how much and send it to a state central computer.
• SB185 Bishop - Eliminates State Preemption (yep... you read that right.) Every Parish and political subdivision could have its own rules for gun ownership.
Typically, gun bills are set for committee hearing together on the same day. I will have a couple days advance notice of the setting. I can post it here if you are interested. Ideally, we could get a couple of dozen of you guys to come to the capital when the bills are in committee. You don’t have to speak, but a show of numbers and all of the red cards opposing a bill is very influential. The NRA will speak, I or someone else from the Louisiana Shooting Association will speak and usually there are a couple others. We try to get our point across without being repetitive or say anything insulting to the legislators.
Can we count on any of you?
