HRA Legislative Alert
HB 2999, the "omnibus bill" that we reported as being deferred
indefinitely (dead) in the House Judiciary Committee has been resurrected
Vice Chair Rep Blake Oshiro advised HRA that he intends to pass an
amended version that would ban the .50 BMG firearms and ammunition
(the rest of the bill will be deleted).
We need all members to contact the key Committee Members below and
urge them to vote against this bill. No matter if you live in their
districts. E-mail them and then follow up with a phone call to their
office. Ask to speak to the Representative, or if they are
unavailable, an aide, about your opposition to HB2999.
We then need as many as possible to be there for the decision making
(no testimony taken). Decision making is scheduled for Thursday
2/28/08 at 2:45pm, Room 325 at the Capitol. We want them to look us
in the eye as they cast their vote!
Let's mobilize the troops to stop this "stepping stone" attack on our
gun rights.
