Two "Natural State" Legislators Introduces Pro-Gun Bills

On Monday, January 14, the Arkansas General Assembly convened its 2013 legislative session.  This ear for the first time in 136 years, Republicans are now in the majority and have the leadership in both legislative bodies.  Unlike, the anti-gun proposal of President Obama and VP Biden, Arkansas legislative conservative members understand that it is not right to have restrictions on guns in places where people are like "fish in a barrel" and where a deranged or premeditated killer can literally fulfill their intent "to shoot people like fish in a barrel."

Two pro-gun bills have already been introduced into the Arkansas State legislature!

Senate Bill 71, introduced by state Senator Bryan King (R-5), known as the Church Protection Act, would remove the absolute prohibition on Right-to-Carry permit holders carrying a concealed firearm into a church. The second, House Bill 1035, introduced by state Representative Denny Altes (R-76), seeks to allow staff members of a university, college or community college to carry a concealed firearm on campus if the staff member has a valid Right-to-Carry permit.

Please contact your state Senator and Representative and urge them to support SB 71 and HB 1035.

And encourage your state lawmakers to work with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Gun Owners of America (GOA) on additional legislation that would protect our Right to Keep and Bear Arms and hunting heritage!

The NRA has stated that it is committed to enacting several pro-gun reforms this year across the nation. Its legislative agenda this year includes, but is not limited to, passing a Fraudulent Firearms Purchase Prevention law, enacting several Right-to-Carry reforms, and protecting your inherent right to self-defense during a declared state of emergency.

However, the NRA should also be advocating on several other issues including "open carry" and the "castle doctrine" in every state.
