SB 149 FIREARMS FREEDOM ACT
The FFA has been introduced in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee. Sponsors of this bill are Senators Ray Merrick, Steve Abrams, Terry Bruce, Bob Marshall, Ty Masterson, Rob Olson, Ralph Ostmeyer, Mike Petersen and Mary Pilcher-Cook.
The FFA is primarily a states' rights challenge to the power of Washington to regulate everything under the guise of commerce among the several states. The states created the federal government to serve the states and the people. The states need to begin drawing boundaries and clearly demarked lines for their servant. The FFA is such a boundary.
The right to bear arms is clearly a fundamental right the people have reserved to themselves. That right is compromised if access to firearms is only through a federally controlled supply chain.
Once validated in court, the FFA will open doors for in-state business and jobs in manufacture of state-made and retained firearms. The FFA will not affect existing firearm manufacturers. Those manufacturers are already federally licensed for an interstate market essential to the business model of those manufacturers.
Please call your Senator and urge them to vote YES on this important piece of legislation.
