some states are just filled with folks who do not like the constitutional rights of others. im surprised some of the bills in certain states will even get entertained in the state capital.

I am not in Kansas, but another state successfully enacting state firearms preemption shows that it works.

Two new US bills in today:

HB4380 would prohibit any state from using money from the NICS improvement act of 2007 for any firearm registration of confiscation of any firearm that is legal to own under federal law.

http://amgoa.org/Proposed-Federal-Gun-Legislation-HB4380/Federal-Law/530

HB4405 has no text and was introduced by Democrat Steve Israel ... the subject reads:

'To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the possession of a firearm by a person who is adjudicated to have committed a violent juvenile act.'

Couple of small but decent wins in Maryland this week as SB184 & HB270 were signed into law by the governor.

SB184 changes law regarding required firearms safety training requirements making it unneeded if you have already taken it, are a honorably discharged vet or if you have been issued a permit to carry.


HB270 makes records on firearm owners and dealers 100% private except for very limited agency uses.

Also signed by the governor is Wisconsin SB527. This law limits actions against shooting ranges for noise or 'nuisance' by local governments
 
Another pro-gun bill signed into law in Wisconsin, AB368 makes it clear that residents can purchase or sell rifles or shotguns in other states provided they follow any applicable federal laws.
 
Oklahoma HB2888 was signed by the governor yesterday. This new law allows spouses of active military living in the state to qualify for a handgun license
 
Another 'under the radar attempt by California to sneak in a new anti gun bill.

California SB916 was originally a bill regarding purchasing lubricating oils, only to have all that text stricken and new text added regarding California's gun import list.

What this bill would do would make manufacturers that want to get certified again have to pay for the recertification testing.

New today

New York

S07107 would outlaw 'ghost guns and magazines' - e.g. supposed undetectable guns and magazines

S07113 would require any firearm made by a 3D printer to have a serial number and be registered with the state police

Minnesota HF3360 is a federal law nullification bill that would also prohibit any state agency from participating in 'federal violations of the 2nd amendment'

New Jersey

S1933 would regulate the sale of all rifle and shotgun ammo, requiring a valid firearms purchaser identification card, a valid copy of a permit to purchase a handgun, a valid permit to carry a handgun, or a valid New Jersey hunting license

S1928 would set up more 'gun free zones'

S1995 would add anyone convicted of carjacking, gang criminality, racketeering and terroristic threats to the list of prohibited persons
 
Think New York couldn't get any worse? Think again. Check out this newly introduced bill.

New York S07132 would make it a crime to buy or sell more than one weapon a month (legal sales that is) and includes a 10 day waiting period.

http://amgoa.org/Proposed-New-York-Gun-Law-S07132/State-Law/16285

Also new today:

Iowa HF2473 would make owning suppressors legal as long as they are NFA registered

Michigan HB5500 would set up preemption in the state
 
New York
S07113 would require any firearm made by a 3D printer to have a serial number and be registered with the state police

Does not NY already have a complete registry linked to a permit or is that just parts of the state? I thought the guns you have must be on your permit so what would this accomplish?

From some quick research it appears you might be correct. Section 400 paragraph 9 states:

License: amendment. Elsewhere than in the city of New York, a person licensed to carry or possess a pistol or revolver may apply at any time to his or her licensing officer for amendment of his or her license to include one or more such weapons or to cancel weapons held under license. If granted, a record of the amendment describing the weapons involved shall be filed by the licensing officer in the executive department, division of state police, Albany. The superintendent of state police may authorize that such amendment be completed and transmitted to the state police in electronic form. Notification of any change of residence shall be made in writing by any licensee within ten days after such change occurs, and a record of such change shall be inscribed by such licensee on the reverse side of his or her license. Elsewhere than in the city of New York, and in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, such notification shall be made to the executive department, division of state police, Albany, and in the city of New York to the police commissioner of that city, and in the county of Nassau to the police commissioner of that county, and in the county of Suffolk to the licensing officer of that county, who shall, within ten days after such notification shall be received by him or her, give notice in writing of such change to the executive department, division of state police, at Albany.

New federal bill came in today. It has no text yet but it is sponsored by Bill Cassidy, a Republican from Louisiana.

The title is 'To modify the definition of "antique firearm"'

Should be interesting to see what this one is about once the full text comes in.

Also new today is PA HB2243. The bill has no text but we are pretty sure this is the bill that would make it so PA employers can not tell employees that they can't store their firearms in their cars on company property.
 
Signed by the governor:

Colorado SB135. This bill strikes all the language of state law section 12-27-101, 'Purchase of Firearms in contiguous States' adding even more restraints on law abiding business and citizens.

Tennessee SB1774. This bill replaces paragraph e of 39-17-1307 (Unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon) by adding an exception that basically says if you are not prohibited from possessing a firearm and the vehicle is privately owned you are good to go.

Tennessee SB1675 extends the expiration time for carry permits from 4 years to 5 years

That is an incorrect assessment.

The Bill repealed existing law limiting the sale by a dealer in Colorado of long guns to non-residents to only non-residents of contiguous States. But under federal law (18 USC 922(b)(3)), a dealer may transfer a long gun to a resident of any State as long as the laws of both States are complied with.

The Bill thus removes a restraint. It doesn't add one.

The anti-gunners especially the politicians want to prevent people who believe in the Constitution from having a say in protecting themselves. It is tyrannical and it is dangerous to free will and liberty.

According to GovTrack, the text is:

A BILL
To modify the definition of antique firearm.

1.Amendment to title 18, United States Code Section 921(a)(16)(A) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking 1898 and inserting 1913.

2.Amendment to Internal Revenue Code of 1986 Subsection (g) of section 5845 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by striking 1898 each place it appears and inserting 1913.


This would seem to redefine antique firearms as those made prior to 1913 instead of as it is currently, 1898, no?

Yes, the text came in the day after I posted it and it does say the change would be moving the year to 1913
 
I dont have anything useful to add but thank you for putting this thread together. Im so happy that I will be moving from New Jersey to Oklahoma!
