RTV6 - Ind. county fights federal gun control measures with "Second Amendment Preservation Act" - Local Story

I am loving some of this!

 

[Bill of Rights]

You're welcome!
Also, I was in error. SB 181 did pass Second Reading yesterday and was engrossed. I have not yet looked to see if it's on Third Reading today.

SB 181 passed Third Reading in the Senate. Unanimously.

It now goes to the House, first to committee (not sure as yet which committee), then hopefully, on to the House floor for Second and Third Readings, and finally to Gov. Pence to finally be wiped from the Code like the bad dream it should have been from the start.

Blessings,
Bill

I know this is the one that allowed guns on state property (mainly state colleges) is there an exemption for the capital? I have not read the bill but figured it would still be a in downtown Indy where the state captial is at. Is that true?

Sorry, Jedi, you're thinking of SB 97.
SB 181 is the one on automatic knives. We're halfway to decriminalizing switchblades.

Bill

Google took me to this:
SB 181 - Indiana 2012 Regular Session - Open States

But if I read more carefully I see that is for 2012!

NRA-ILA | Indiana: General Assembly Off to a Good Start with Pro-Gun Bills Introduced=

Nice to see that we've got some good ones in there!

I agree, John, and it seems we're getting more and more pro-2A legislators every year, too. For reference's sake, I usually go directly to Indiana General Assembly: Home, or to go directly to the current list of bills, Indiana General Assembly.
In years past, I'd have sent people to Indiana General Assembly(subject listing) as well, but this year, the "weapons" () heading only shows SB 181 and HB 1571, and I'm not sure where the other bills relevant to our interests have ended up classified.
It's good, I think, for us to be able to see things like SB 97 and SB 130, but it would be easy to miss things like SB 555 and HB 1473 and more importantly, the trash (HB 1571) proposed by Rep. Vernon Smith, which, to prevent anyone missing it, is Indiana's own version of an AWB. To Rep. Smith's credit, however, at least he was honest about what he's looking to ban: Full auto and convertible semi-auto. None of this "military feature" or "pistol grip/flash hider" stuff, he just wants to ban the guns that shoot or can shoot lots of bullets quickly. I completely disagree with him as to the appropriateness of doing so, but I respect that at least he doesn't beat around the bush.
Anyway, I hope these links help some folks out there.

Blessings,
Bill

I sent my emails out too thaks for all the info bill

 

[KW730]

Anyone have any updates on SB97? It's of particular interest to me. I have already fired of several emails but haven't received a response.

 

[Bill of Rights]

As of right now, it is still stalled in committee. Sen. Long obviously has not decided what he wants to do with it other than "let it die". I also have written repeatedly, without notable effect. I'm not sure what it's going to take.

 

[NathanJefferson]

Just got off the phone with Sen. Schneider, he is very pro-2a and was quite interested in my idea of introducing legislation to recall senators/representatives. He sounded sincere so I'll put together a PPT this weekend with all the details!

Be advised that HB1563 (suppressors permitted for hunting) may be scheduled for a floor vote on February 12, 2013. Call your state representative tonight and tomorrow!

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

The Indiana House is supposed to vote on HB 1563 tomorrow. Give them a call or a quick letter.

Kirk beat me to it!

 

[Bill of Rights]
