As a citizen of Louisiana and a supporter of Gun Owners of America, I urge you to SUPPORT SB 194 and OPPOSE SB 203 and 256. SB 194 strengthens Louisiana’s firearm preemption law by further restricting the authority of local governments to regulate firearms to include their “manufacture, …carrying, …storage, …[and] taxation;” adding “firearm accessories, knives, edged weapons, or any combination thereof” to the preemption statute; declaring preempted ordinances enacted by local governments before July 15, 1985, “to be null and void, and of no effect;” and creating a cause of action allowing individuals and organizations to file a lawsuit against any local government that violates the preemption statute. SB 203 creates the office of gun violence prevention the stated function of which is to perform gun violence prevention research and make policy recommendations to reduce gun violence in the state. Though the office is supposed to be non-partisan, this bill is authored and supported by gun control legislators and groups such as Mon Demands Action and will be nothing more than a taxpayer-funded mechanism for the creation and enforcement of rights-infringing legislation in Louisiana. SB 256 is the latest attempt to pass a gun confiscation “Red Flag Law” in Louisiana. This bill would allow the government to strip away an individual’s right to keep and bear arms without being charged with, let alone convicted of a crime. Thank you!
