Important Legislation Coming up for all LA Gun owners!!!!

[iamglockman]

I'm sure most of you have heard of this already but just case you didn't receive the NRA news letter here it is:

SB 319 by Sen. Ann Duplessis (D-New Orleans) is a much broader state-version of the federal gun ban that sunset last year. It reduces the number of "attachments" required to be classified as a so-called "assault weapon" from two to one. It would require anyone wishing to purchase, possess or transport any semi-automatic firearms covered by the ban, or any ammunition used in those firearms, to obtain a $100 permit every two years from the State Police. Only individuals who meet the eligibility requirements of Louisiana's Right To Carry law could be issued a permit - qualifications that are much more stringent than those to possess a firearm under federal law. And the State Police could deny a permit a variety of reasons - including "for good cause."



Licensed firearms dealers would be prohibited from maintaining an inventory of any firearms designated as so-called "assault weapons." Dealers could only sell these firearms, ammunition or parts to individuals who have been issued the special permit required under the bill. They would be required to maintain a separate registry of any transactions involving these firearms, ammunition or parts, and they must make records of these transactions available upon the request of any law enforcement officer, for any reason. A $50 tax would be imposed on any order of ammunition if the ammunition could be used in a so-called "assault weapon."



SB 319 has been referred to the Senate Judiciary B Committeee. Please contact the committee members below and urge them to OPPOSE SB 319.

...a newly-created fund called the "Juvenile Crime Prevention Fund." Programs, services and activities which may be supported by future appropriations from that Fund include the following: "conflict resolution and anger management", "stress management and reduction", and "self-esteem development."

In plain English: late night basketball and get out the vote campaigns for representatives of the Democratic (sic) party.

 

[Flyboy]

Somebody tell this idiot to put the crack pipe down and step away slowly.

 

[Dead]

I think the idiot should take enough hits off their crack pipe so they fall down and never get back up. All ammo would be covered under this law, not to mention many many fire arms. Even many a hunting rifle would be covered.

 

[LAR-15]

Eh LA shot down a gun ban last year.

Won't pass.
