| DAILY ALERT FOR Thursday, February 14, 2019 |
|
|
|
||
| On February 13th, the Nevada state Senate voted to pass Senate Bill 143 to criminalize private firearm transfers by a party line vote. SB 143 has been transmitted to the Assembly and referred to the Judiciary Committee where it has been scheduled for a work session tomorrow, February 14th. |
|
||
| Today, the Oklahoma House of Representatives passed Constitutional Carry Legislation, House Bill 2597, by a 70 to 30 vote. |
|
||
| On Wednesday, February 13th, the Mississippi House of Representatives passed House Bill 1581 on a bipartisan, unanimous vote, 113-0. Now, the measure moves to the Senate where it is currently pending committee assignment and a hearing date |
|
||
| House Bill 643, which would allow law-abiding citizens to carry firearms for self-defense on public transit, has been referred to the Missouri state House General Laws Committee. |
|
||
| On February 11th, a subcommittee of the Iowa state Senate Judiciary Committee voted 2-1 to pass Senate Fill 165 to ensure that any law-abiding adult who may legally possess a handgun can carry it for self-defense without first having to go through government red tape. SF 165 will now go to the full committee for further consideration. |

|
| Don’t expect to hear much debate about guns in the 2020 Democratic primary. Just about everyone is lined up on the gun control side of an issue that used to split the party and prompt top candidates to tread lightly. |

|
| Landon Badac first picked up a gun at around 4 years old. |
|
||
| Yesterday, a joint judiciary committee was held to consider Senate Bill 143 less than 21 hours after the bill language became available to the public. After hearing hours of testimony, the committee recessed shortly before the Senate Committee reconvened and passed the bill on a party line vote. SB 143 will now head to the Senate floor for a vote, which is anticipated today. |

| Billionaire philanthropist Michael Bloomberg is preparing to spend at least $500 million from his own pocket to deny President Trump a second term, according to Democratic operatives briefed on his plans. Bloomberg has not yet announced whether he will run in the Democratic primary. If he runs, he will use that half-billion-dollar stake — roughly $175 million more than the Trump campaign spent over the course of the entire 2016 election cycle — to fuel his campaign through the 2020 primary season, with the expectation that the sum represents a floor, not a ceiling, on his potential spending. |
|
|
| To Democrats, Senate Bill 143 is a long-overdue life saver. To Republicans, it’s little more than a gun grab. That was the takeaway on Tuesday in Carson City, where several hours of pointed public testimony offered little hope of consensus over the state’s latest attempt to implement Nevada’s long-stalled expansion of gun background checks |
