STILL MORE ATTACKS ON THE WAY
3.20.2025 Second Alert
The Democrats have now scheduled hearings and work sessions for the rest of their anti-gun bills.
It is not an overstatement to say that these bills will essentially end what may have been left of the Second Amendment.
Because of the sheer volume of their demented attacks, we cannot summarize or dissect all the bills, but most of them will be heard on the same day and you can see all the bad news here:

This is the schedule for the Senate Judiciary Committee for April 7th. On that day 4 vicious anti-gun bills are up for hearings and work sessions.
SB 429, SB 696, SB 697, and SB 698.
Links to the bills themselves and links to testify are all in the link posted above.
SB 243 is scheduled for March 27th. The link for that bill is here:

Please note, as of the time this alert was written, that bill is still a “place holder” which will be “gut and stuffed” with language the anti-gun extremists already have but has not been made public. Our best guess at this time is it will be a “wish list” from the State Police of new restrictions and complications to further impede background checks. But, as we learned from today’s hearing, the Democrats will probably not allow you to see what the real language will be until the very last minute.
Unlike the hateful bills we have seen so far, these are SENATE bills, not HOUSE bills. That means that if they are going to be stopped, it will be up to the SENATE Republicans. The Senate has some members who have made no secret that they will never walk out and protect you because they love their titles too much. Senator David Brock Smith, for example, always stays on the floor to help the Democrats. But if you look at what these bills do, you will see things are absolutely critical.
The Senate Republican Leader is Dan Bonham. Bonham is already prohibited from running for his seat again. The Democrats (and his own former leader) have screwed him as much as they can. They can do nothing more to him.
PLEASE contact Bonham and tell him that what the Democrats are doing is evil, hateful, and insane. The Republicans MUST stand up to this. The Democrats have been using the Republicans for doormats and the Republicans keep going along with it. But these are YOUR rights at stake.
We know we have kept you busy contacting Drazan in the House, but we must also let the Senate know that if they allow these bills to move forward, voting “no” will be meaningless posturing.
Please email and call Dan Bonham and insist the Senate Republicans stop the Democrats hateful attacks on you and your family.
