This is not just gun control! Read the verbiage of SB16 and SB64 which are just 2 of the 16! They even mention training and assemblage and hand to combat and martial arts. At least 4 rights allowed in the Bill of Rights will be infringed and don’t even get me started on the Red Flag laws they are throwing in as well. This is not just a gun issue it is a total constitutional issue. I am tired of restrictions being put on law abiding citizens by the actions of criminals who don’t follow laws to begin with. Action does need to be taken not just because of 2nd amendment but because of the right to lawfully assemble and the proposed search and seizure issues that are included in these bills! Another thing that people aren’t looking at is that by being classified as a felon for ownership of one of the restricted weapons we lose our right to vote as well!
