Just talked to Tanya Cooks office again. She is still opposed. Her staff member said she thought it would be up for discussion tomorrow around 11 but she also sounded kind of confused. I had to explain lb 289 to her.

I got a letter in the mail today. The important line is "I oppose this legislation, as well as any other proposals which aim to promote firearm ownership over basic safety measures." Sincerely, Tanya Cook. Please God give me someone else to vote for.

My email to Kate Bolz(29)...awaiting response.
Hello-
I am an active voting constituent in District 29. My family voted for Kate Bolz in the last election cycle and I even spoke to her when she came to our door. A very important bill is on the list of Priority Bills that is coming up on the floor here in the next few days. LB 289(sponsored by state Senator Laura Ebke) will ensure that all firearm and ammunition laws are applied evenly across our great state. This is not only important to make sure that Nebraska's law abiding citizens don't unknowingly run afoul of the law, but help set the precedent that Nebraska State Legislature makes laws in this state. Not local cities, townships, municipalities, etc. I think there are many instances across this country and, yes, even in this state, where the aforementioned have overestimated their ability to impose codes and ordinances that infringe on Constitutionally Guaranteed Rights.
I understand this topic is not generally in Kate Bolz's wheelhouse but she does have a duty to not only to represent her constituency but ensure the faithful adherence to the US Constitution via the Nebraska State legislature, by The People, for The People.
I look forward to her response and position on this important bill. Thank you for your attention in this matter. God Bless.

Here's an NRA article on this bill:

My state senator, Kathy Campbell, has refused to answer my requests to tell me where she stands on this bill. I'd say her cowardly silence speaks for itself.
