Anti-gun legislators have used procedural maneuvers to bypass deadlines and the committee hearing process by stuffing language from a defeated semi-automatic firearm ban bill into a new bill, Senate Bill 401. SB 401, as amended, is now over 2,600 words long and will ban semi-automatic rifles with a detachable magazine, “assault shotguns”, and standard capacity magazines. SB 401 could receive its second floor vote as early as today. Please use the TAKE ACTION button below to contact your Representative and urge them to oppose this bill and the procedural “gut and replace” tactics used to advance this bill.
