Ah yes, our Democrats are certainly enjoying their new majority.

And they're so stupid, they cannot understand that during a state of emergency is exactly when private citizens should be carrying firearms. The day after I retire (for the second time), I'm so outta this state ...
 
For AZ, it is important to note that one of the background check bills is exactly, that, a regular bill - but HCR 2001 is another Bloomberg end run attempt to place it on the ballot, for the next General election in 2018. They got smart, and removed a LOT of the "problematic" things that the Washington one had, with the various "loans" and family gifts exempted...for now. They drool at the opportunity to remove AZ from the Number One spot for firearms freedoms. Elected officials contacted.
 
Here's the bills that came in this week, many of these are pre-files for the 2018 session:

AZ

HB2057 would amend the definition of militia to explicitly state all people capable of defending the state

HB2058 would amend the definition of militia to explicitly state all people capable of defending the state

HB2059 would amend the definition of militia to explicitly state all people capable of defending the state

IN

SB0033 would allow employees or volunteers that are legal to carry firearms to carry them in churches

SB0111 would outlaw bump fire stocks, trigger cranks and any other device of that sort

KS

HB2442 would outlaw bump fire stocks, trigger cranks and other similar devices

HB2443 would create the crime of 'abandoning or otherwise leaving a firearm in a public place'

MD

SB74 would outlaw bump stocks

SB99 would clarify the concealed carry permit issuance law to explicitly specify that personal protection and self defense are a valid reason to apply for a permit.

MO

HB1733 would repeal sections of the state's stand your ground laws

HB1760 would create Second Amendment Preservation Act that would limit federal powers within the state

HB1768 would eliminate the criminal penalty for carrying a concealed firearm onto private property that is posted with no firearms signs. If a person is asked to leave and refuses and law enforcement is called they will be given a summons of not more than $100

NH

SB492 would outlaw bump stocks and any other device that converts the rate of fire on a semi-auto firearm

NJ

A5293 would make it illegal for anyone under 21 to buy or possess a stun gun

AR303 urges congress to not pass the national reciprocity act

A5324 would set up a permitting system to buy stun guns almost exactly like the permit to buy a handgun

PA

HB1985 would ban people from carrying firearms at public demonstrations or within 1000 feet of a public demostration

UT

HB0011 would set up a program in public schools grades 5-12 to teach firearm safety

HB0129 would strengthen self defense laws

VA

SB113 would outlaw any mechanical device that would increase the rate of fire of a firearm including bump stocks and trigger crank

HB140 would make all private transfers at gun shows be required to go through a background check

SB119 would require all lost and stolen firearms to be reported within 24 hours of the discover

VT

S0221 would set up 'extreme risk protection orders' which would require anyone under one to surrender their firearms

WA

HB2293 would ban carrying firearms into any child care center or early learning center

SB6049 is a high capacity magazine ban bill

HB2329 would strengthen privacy laws about information regarding license to carry applications, investigations and denials

WI

AB806 would impose a tax on all firearm manufacturers that do business in the state

US Congress

HB4721 is another attempt to outlaw so-called 'armor piercing' ammunition

https://amgoa.org/Proposed-Federal-Gun-Legislation
 
AZ HB 2057 would also declare "sound dampening devices" part of state guard equipment, and exempt any firearm "particularly suited" for state guard duty from any confiscation or impediment from being carried by a state guardsman. The description is lengthy but not all inclusive of "particularly suited" firearms. For instance, my BREN 805 would not qualify as "particularly suited" for state guard duty since it has never been accepted by a US agency or state law enforcement dept.

AZ HB 2058 does the same, but goes further in establishing the Arizona Citizens Marksmanship program, which would have the state acquire and sell "particularly suited" firearms to the afore mentioned lawful state guard members, and would provide training for state guard members. I like the direction this one takes.

AZ HB 2059 does al the above and ads a clarifying bit to the Arizona Manufactured Firearms law about what is NOT allowed to be built, (pretty much pre invalidated by court action, never really tested), posted here, lined out old, bolded proposed.
azleg.gov said:
4. A firearm that discharges two or more projectiles with one activation of the trigger or other firing device is designed to automatically shoot more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.

All from just one guy, Mr Stringer. As much as I like the idea, and wish 2058 could go into law, ( their ACMP would use only donations, not state funds), I doubt they will pass. However, in 1994 I didn't think Fife Symington would sign our CCW law, either. .

A couple more for Washington, our legislature just turned all Democratic on the 1st, we are sunk.

Senate Bill 5050, sponsored by Senator David Frockt (D-46), and House Bill 1134, sponsored by Representative Strom Peterson (D-21), would prohibit all possession, purchase, sale or transfer of commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and ammunition magazines holding ten or more rounds.

Senate Bill 5444, sponsored by Senator Frockt, and House Bill 1387, sponsored by Representative Laurie Jinkins (D-27), would impose a registration-licensing system for commonly owned semi-automatic rifles and ammunition magazines holding ten or more rounds.

Senate Bill 5463, sponsored by Senator Frockt, and House Bill 1122, sponsored by Representative Ruth Kagi (D-32), would require individuals to lock up firearms or potentially face Class C Felony charges. This intrusive government legislation invades people’s homes and forces them to render their firearms useless in a self-defense situation by locking them up.

Senate Bill 5992, sponsored by Senator Kevin Van De Wege (D-24), would make it a crime to knowingly possess a firearm accessory or any other device, part or combination of parts that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm.

Senate Bill 6049, sponsored by Senator Frockt, would prohibit the possession of ammunition magazines holding ten or more rounds, with limited exceptions.

Plain and simple, and for a lack of a better word New Jersey gun owners are screwed. There's a complete Democrat majority (and gun hating governor) that wants nothing more than to take every gun right New Jersey residents have. Most people we know that are true 2A people have moved out of the state.
 
This listing of gun bills provides a valuable service. (Perhaps it belongs in the Activism forum rather than the Legal forum?)

Two suggestions to make it more useful: Clearly pro-gun and antigun bills could be identified as such, by being color-coded red for antigun bills and green for pro-gun. If unclear which was which, they would be left in black text.

Secondly, there should be an easy way to tell if a bill is frivolous, or has a serious chance of passage. This might take a bit of research to determine who the sponsors and co-sponsors are. Some crazy ideas, on their face, have no chance of passage and are just being thrown out there to score political points.

No offense bud but we already spend many MANY hours each day just sorting through the bills that come in (at this time of the year we can be dealing with 100-200 new bills a day) so taking the time to do this just isn't feasible. You can always follow the links we provide to the sections of proposed laws and at a glance see what we consider pro-gun and anti-gun.

Sadly this isn't our 'full time' job so while we would love to spend more time doing it financial constraints keep us from be able to.
