Last week's newly introduced legislation and man oh MAN is this list huge!
As an example of how bad it really is this year we have kept track of firearm legislation since 2013 and here are the total firearm bills introduced at the state level:
2013: 2016 - note this was the year after Sandy Hook
2014: 1072
2015: 1767
2016: 1368
2017: 1854
2018: 1451
Now as of today (and since January 1) there have been 1302 firearm related bills introduced in state capitols, that's 25+ bills per day since the first of the year, something we have NEVER seen before.
People are really going to need to get off their butts and march down to their state capitol and start screaming at the top of their lungs!
