What are the requirements to help with the committee? I'm very interested in the legislative side of it.
-
This is the new Firearm Protection Act, not the Firearms Freedom Act. 2 different things.

We have been discussing it as well, but yes the other linked tread is inaccurate. There are several different versions of this floating around and we are reviewing multiple ideas.

I stand corrected. That's what I get for multitasking ;)
-
Yay Wyoming!
On a side note, I wonder how long the 10th Amendment will be battered until the States no longer put up with it and stand up and say "NO MORE".
-
I REALLY hope we can get something similar passed in Nebraska. I'm willing to help.
-
If you saw the make up of the new Judicial Committee yesterday..... don't bother...Ashford, Lathrop, Chambers, McGill.....discouraged yet?
-
Maybe we can get Ashford for Omaha mayor and get a better body in there :laugh:
-
I also just sent this to Senator Dubas and Senator Gloor.... for them to create a like bill.
-
Nebraska needs to become a safe-haven for the 2nd Amendment. The firearms industry should be FLOCKING here, trying to start up new manufacturing plants. The right bill could get us there.
The farmers need to be brought into action. Church on Sunday is probably the best way to get the word out.
Nebraska needs to decide if it's a state like Wyoming-- or is it a state like Iowa.
Let me know what I can do to help. That's why I am here.

I am from NE but I lived in WYO for 14 years and graduated from UW, i don't think NE will ever be like it. They battle the Feds every day via the BLM, Forrest Sevice. dept of Interior and EPA. They are more in tune with State's rights than I think we will ever be here. I am concerned that our "Republican" party here is becoming way too moderate - they can't even get control of key committees in the unicameral.
-
Look, despite the National news, very little along the lines of draconian gun restrictions are coming down the pike here in Nebraska.
AG Bruning's legislative wish list contained no items aimed our way. He is on our side. Let's make sure he gets reelected in 2 years
And it appears that the Legislature is bucking the trend too so our efforts are making headway. That could change before the bill introduction period ends, so I am knocking on wood here. Plus the Governor has been on our side.
Nebraska has always been at the trailing edge of the political scene nationally and I don't see that changing anytime soon due to our small population.
My view=all politics are local. We need to make sure our reps stay solidly in the Red... from city councils to Senators.
I agree with Semtex' thoughts that Nebraska would be great state to move your firearms manufacturing business to and I wonder just what we can do to attract them
But, you are right that Wyoming and Texas probably lead the way in telling the Feds to pound sand
-
While yes it is true that other states may be more versed in states rights. But we can get there if we continue to push for our rights and NEVER settle for anything less.

Actually, we joked about this a bit very late after the reloading clinic... my response was 'I live in Omaha, and I don't wanna take one for the team!' hehehe

I just want him to go back to selling over-priced, yuppie clothes in the Old market.... I think he does less damage there that anywhere else...
