OKLAHOMA
CITY – State Rep. Josh Cockroft is among 15 bill authors of a measure named the
Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act.
The
legislation would assert the Second Amendment rights of Oklahomans by exempting
guns or ammunition made in the state from federal regulations. The bill
specifies that to qualify for the exemption the guns must be clearly marked as
“Made in Oklahoma” and kept within state boundaries.
“I am
concerned about the talk coming out of Washington, D.C., about tougher gun
control,” said Cockroft, R-Tecumseh. “This bill is meant to address potential
federal gun control actions and regulations by limiting federal regulation
within Oklahoma borders. I believe the bill has been written in a way that is
constitutional and will address potential federal action.”
The
bill’s authors are Cockroft and state Reps. Mike Ritze, Sean Roberts, John
Bennett, Jadine Nollan, Arthur Hulbert, Mike Reynolds, Jason Murphey, Sally
Kern, Lewis Moore, Mike Sanders, Mike Turner, Tom Newell, Dan Fisher and David
Brumbaugh.
Today
was the final day to file legislation for the 2013 legislative session, which
convenes Feb. 4.
you are a disgusting embarrassment for this state
ReplyDeleteThere is no substance to your argument - therefore you resort to name calling (ab hominem abusive).
DeleteRep. Cockroft should be applauded for standing up for the Second Amendment. The federal government has no business in the regulation of firearms, just like it has no business regulating the practice of religion. The state of Oklahoma, and every state, would do well to pass legislation such as this.
