Kentucky Legislature Passes Partial 2A Sanctuary Bill

[KyJim]

Both houses of the Kentucky legislature have passed HB 153 which prohibits law enforcement agencies, public agencies and officials, and local governments from helping or assisting federal law enforcement agencies in investigating or enforcing bans or restrictions on firearms, ammo, and accessories (specifically mentioning detachable magazines) that came into existence after January 1, 2021. That includes federal statues, regulations, and executive orders.

Violation is a misdemeanor and an offending individual can be terminated in some instances.

The bill now goes to the governor, but there appears to be more than enough votes to override any possible veto. See the tracking of the bill.

Updated—

The bill has become law. The governor declined to sign it, but did not veto it within 10 days as required by the state’s constitution.

Only reason that lefty didnt sign it is because he knew his veto would be over ridden.

There’s that and the fact that there are a fair number of “lefties” in the state who own firearms and he probably didn’t want alienate any voters with election season coming up.
