GOA-Backed SF0148<\/u><\/a> passed the Wyoming Senate! This bill will fix a problem in Wyoming’s “Preemption” statutes and stop localities from passing more restrictive gun control than allowed by the state legislature.<\/strong><\/p>\n To make a long story short, a numerical error made within the Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act made Wyoming’s previous preemption law only apply to firearms made entirely within the Cowboy state. That means a locality could now pass restrictions on concealed carry, magazine size, or legal activities allowed under Wyoming law as long as they exempted Wyoming-made firearms and accessories.<\/p>\n As a Wyoming Judge wrote: “To the extent that the Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act preempts regulation of firearms by cities, towns, counties, and political subdivisions and\/or any other entities, it does so only with respect to firearms, firearms accessories and ammunition that are manufactured in Wyoming.”<\/p>\n SF0148 is a very simple and short bill that restores the intent of Wyoming local preemption law. It will change the statute numbers referenced in the Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act to start at 6-8-402 rather than the erroneous beginning at 6-8-401. This will restore the power of Wyoming’s local preemption law found in 6-8-401 and stop local authorities from regulating ANY FIREARMS, FIREARMS EXCESSORIES, AMMUNITION, ETC.<\/p>\n SF0148 is a common sense bill to restore the legislative intent to stop local authorities from having firearms restrictions not authorized by the Wyoming Legislature.<\/strong><\/p>\n Please contact your Representative at the link here and encourage them to vote to support SF0148 and stop local authorities from restricting your Second Amendment Rights.<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n We are working hard with Representatives and Senators to advance pro-Second Amendment and pro-hunting measures, and we are also diligently working to ensure that no bills pass this Legislative Session that will restrict your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Please be on the lookout for more e-mails coming from us in the coming days.<\/p>\n Please contact your Representative at the link here and encourage them to vote to support SF0148 when it comes to the House Floor.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n P.S.
