On Wednesday, May 30 at 9:30 AM in HCR-6, the House Administration of
Criminal Justice Committee will consider HB 869, a bill that would
establish far-reaching restrictions on semi-automatic firearms (dubbing
them "assault weapons") and ammunition magazines. It would target every
firearm modified to conform with the now-extinct Clinton Gun-Ban plus
many other semi-automatic firearms that have no lineage to those rifles
or any military-style orientation whatsoever.
HB 869 would also require current owners of such firearms to register
their firearms with the State Police, obtain and renew a license
annually to keep them, restrict how and where they may be used or
transported, and allow the State Police to inspect private homes for
compliance.
Please make plans to attend Wednesday's hearing to sign up in
opposition to HB 869, and please contact the committee members below and
urge them to vote "NO" on HB 869:

firearms issue!
As I read it this would impact those with semi-auto
shotguns...a lot of bird and duck hunters.
