| DAILY ALERT FOR Tuesday, March 12, 2019 |
|
|
|

|
||
| On Friday, upon adjournment as early as 10:00am in Room 357, the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee is scheduled to consider “Red Flag” legislation, House Bill 1177. |
|
||
| The NRA applauds Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin for signing Senate Bill 150 into law, an NRA-backed bill that fully recognizes the constitutional right of law-abiding gun owners to carry a concealed firearm. |
|
|
| The other day, somewhat lost in all the coverage of President Trump at CPAC, there was a very concerning CPAC talk by Wayne LaPierre. Wayne is, of course, the longtime head of the National Rifle Association. And what he had to say was as enlightening as it was concerning. |
|
|
| Advocates for gun rights and gun control packed a legislative hearing on several firearms bills. The Judiciary Committee’s hearing happened at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on Monday at 10 a.m. The proposals discussed brought on a flood of written testimony. |
|
|
| An unidentified woman was reportedly ejected from a Connecticut gun hearing Monday after she was spotted sending a text threatening to shoot a lawmaker and NRA members. “If I had a gun, I’d blow away Sampson and a large group of NRA,” a photo of the text message-in-progress reads, according to a tweet. The woman appeared to be directing her ire at Republican Connecticut state Sen. Rob Sampson, who describes himself as a Constitutional conservative and is an NRA “Defender of Freedom Award” recipient |
|
||
| Tomorrow, the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to consider two gun control measures that would make it difficult for individuals to defend themselves in certain self-defense situations. |
|
|
| A Democratic Party leader in Maryland is facing criticism for last month posting on Facebook a call to “dox” gun rights activists. Maryland Democratic Party Secretary Robbie Leonard took to social media to post photos from a Maryland House Judiciary Committee meeting in late February, where gun rights activists wore “We Will Not Comply” shirts during the hearing on additional gun control measures, along with a message calling the advocates “homegrown terrorists” and calling on his followers to “dox” them. |
|
||
| Tomorrow, the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to consider multiple bills. |
|
||
| Tomorrow at 1:00pm, the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to consider House Bill 1343, legislation to repeal the Handgun Permit Review Board. |
|
||
| Today, Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 86, legislation that fixes a drafting error passed in the previous legislative session. |
|
|
| House Republicans would much rather be in the majority, passing bills and fulfilling President Trump’s agenda. But they are quickly realizing that life in the minority can come with some perks — and some easy political victories. |
|
|
| A ban on sales of certain rifles at Dick’s Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) backfired as gun enthusiasts continue to take their business elsewhere, both for gun and other outdoor gear. The impact of their absence is noticeable. |
|
|
| BANG! Ping. BANG, BANG! Ping, ping. Gunshots echoed through the trees of a rural farm, lead disintegrating into dust as it exploded against thick steel targets. |
