There are efforts underway to change this law and a couple others. There's a process that has to be followed.
Senate and representative sponsors have been identified. Discussions are underway. Next steps are draft language, ...
...There will be a time to engage the masses. But that time is not today. Let the groundwork get laid before stirring the pot.
what if we all pitched in and hired a lobbyist
What about making a Saiga 12 an AOW? Does anybody know of a virgin receiver for the S12?
Uhh... I think that's its own thread. This is a different discussion.
Yeah, but I haven't found it yet. I hoped somebody would know where to start, other than my usual resources (i.e. Google)...
Someone forgot how long it took to get daylight savings.The real crapper is that the actual change itself would be stone simple; just make the language in the IC read exactly the way it already does for machine guns - illegal unless registered in accordance with federal law (paraphrasing). Couch it in terms of "streamlining" the IC or something, and find a pro-gun state rep to ram it through. If we can get lifetime LTCH, the parking lot bill and transporting to the range w/o a permit done, this should be easy by comparison!
Then, add the win-sauce and add legislation that if a SBS is used in a crime, there is some sort of additional penalty.
Indiana code already provides for an additional 10 years in prison for committing a crime while in possession of a "sawed off" shotgun.
I met with three pro-gun senators in the last week and a half. They are already gearing up for this legislative session. One is in the process of drafting language to allow legal registered silencers to be used to take game in Indiana, another mentioned that he is looking into legislation making automatic knives legal as well as SBS's. And, another is looking into carry on campus. There will come a time for email, phone and letter campaigns, it just not time yet.
