| Bernard - We have some updates on bills we previously reported, as well as some new bills to report, none of which are good. For 2nd Amendment rights, we previously reported the following: - S.3 - Prohibiting paramilitary training camps
- S.4 - Reducing juvenile violence, and
- S.11 - Persons prohibited from possessing firearms
Of those, we will be giving our testimony on S.4 tomorrow morning at 9AM, and we are READY. While we have concerns about several sections, our primary concern is Section 8 - which bans people under 21 years of age from possessing "assault weapons", and it includes definitions of "assault pistol", "assault shotgun" and "assault rifle". Section 8 will not stand constitutional scrutiny because both age 21 prohibitions and "assault weapons" bans have been struck down by courts as being unconstitutional under the new Bruen standard.
The list of 2nd Amendment Case we have built to support our testimony can be found here. S.3 will have a walk-thru on Thursday morning at 10:45. While we are currently on the agenda to provide testimony, we will be providing testimony later on this bill. Since our last message to you, there have been 3 additional firearm related bills added - all of which are SERIOUSLY flawed: - S.21 - Safety zones around occupied buildings
- S.31 - Ban on open carry; limit defense and sensitive places, and
- H.98 - Firearm storage; expand ERPO; 10-day waiting period; guns in bars and prohibit possession by hate-crime people
We will be aggressively fighting each of those. On the F&W side of things: We now have S.22 which allows for posting your land permanently by using purple paint. It's seriously flawed as well. We will keep you informed as things develop; please forward this to like-minded friends and have them join our email list at our website. The more people we can keep informed the better. If you like what you see here, please consider a donation, come to our banquet, buy a raffle ticket or even better: Do all three! Thank you for your continued support of the VTFSC and our member clubs.
