Subject: Update, current MSSA bills
Dear MSSA Friends,
Rather than crowding it into an email, I've posted an update on MSSA bills at:
http://progunleaders.org/Bills2013/A couple of notes:
Although MSSA supports HB 27 (allowing suppressors for wolf hunting), MSSA prefers HB 205 (remove all remaining state restrictions for suppressor use).
Although HB 290 (fully-informed juries) is not an MSSA bill, per se, MSSA has long supported fully informed juries as the last peaceable barrier between gun owners and government bent on gun confiscation.
We have arranged with various committee chairmen to schedule a lot of "gun bills" for public hearings during the second week of February (probably Tuesday and Wednesday - stay tuned). This will make it easier for pro-gun folks to travel to Helena to speak in favor of multiple pro-gun bills. The other side of this same coin is that it will ALSO make it easier for anti-gun people to travel to Helena and oppose our pro-gun bills, so you'd better show up. You can be the Montana Human Rights Network will be present to tell legislators that these bills will cause "the end of life on Earth as we know it."
