OFF ALERT 01/13/07
GUN LOCK UP LAW INTRODUCED |
As
we warned you, Ginny Burdick is back with another bill to force
you to keep your firearms locked up and useless.
Senate
Bill 283 is the bill version of LC Draft 1116, which we
have had posted on our website for some time.
The bill includes prison terms of up to 5 years and
fines of $125,000.00 for failure to lock up your firearms.
Although this bill was introduced as a "committee"
bill, it has Burdick's fingerprints all over it. It will be
assigned to the Committee she chairs. Interestingly, it provides
an exemption for police officers.
On another note, if you have not yet done so, please contact
US Senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith and urge them, in the
strongest possible terms, to vote for the Bennett/McConnell
amendment to the "Legislative Transparency and Accountability
Act "(S.1).
In the wake of lobbying scandals in Washington, the Democrats
in the Senate are seeking to silence groups like OFF who simply
communicate with their members, but DON'T throw bags of money
at legislators.
Not only are they determined to undermine your Second Amendment
rights, they are now trying to eliminate your FIrst Amendment
rights.
We have provided contact information for both Smith and Wyden.We
have also provided some suggested text. Please feel free to
modify it.

------------------Suggested Text--------------------------------------------------
Dear Senator,
The Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act (S.1) contains
provisions that will silence organizations that keep me informed.
This is an outrageous and unacceptable attack on my First Amendment
rights.
I urge you to vote in favor or the Bennett/ McConnell amendment
to strike these dangerous and unconstitutional sections.
Very truly yours,
