As we warned you, Ginny Burdick is back with another bill to force you to keep your firearms locked up and useless.
Senate Bill 283 is the bill version of LC Draft 1116, which we have had posted on our website for some time.
The bill includes prison terms of up to 5 years and fines of $125,000.00 for failure to lock up your firearms.
Although this bill was introduced as a “committee” bill, it has Burdick’s fingerprints all over it. It will be assigned to the Committee she chairs. Interestingly, it provides an exemption for police officers.
On another note, if you have not yet done so, please contact US Senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith and urge them, in the strongest possible terms, to vote for the Bennett/McConnell amendment to the “Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act “(S.1).
In the wake of lobbying scandals in Washington, the Democrats in the Senate are seeking to silence groups like OFF who simply communicate with their members, but DON’T throw bags of money at legislators.
Not only are they determined to undermine your Second Amendment rights, they are now trying to eliminate your FIrst Amendment rights.
We have provided contact information for both Smith and Wyden.We have also provided some suggested text. Please feel free to modify it.

Dear Senator,
The Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act (S.1) contains provisions that will silence organizations that keep me informed.
This is an outrageous and unacceptable attack on my First Amendment rights.
I urge you to vote in favor or the Bennett/ McConnell amendment to strike these dangerous and unconstitutional sections.
Very truly yours,
