Gun control legislation should be one of the lowest priorities during a time of constitutional crisis with fascists tearing down the government.
Trump is a fascist!
Resist!
Also, don't you dare fight back. Only Trump and his goons should own a gun.
Sheriffs will have broad authority to deny applications from people seeking to buy otherwise banned firearms, including those they believe may be a risk to themselves or others. Those who are rejected, however, could file a lawsuit seeking to reverse the decision.
Once someone gets an eligibility card, they must complete up to a dozen hours of training over two days, depending on whether they have already completed a hunter education course, and pass a test. At that point they would be allowed to purchase a weapon otherwise banned under Senate Bill 3.
Bad policy. Keep this shit out of my state.
So shotguns with a magazine tube are still okay?
- As would a lever-action rifle
- Having not read the article: probably. The magazine tube should still be fine as long as it's a pump action shotgun because firing another round requires manually cycling the action.
Would have upvoted this post except for the non-news opinions in the body:
Do something about gun violence!
(Finally does something about gun violence)
How dare you??
- How does requiring a permit to take a class to apply for a modern gun (who's system must be funded by an already underfunded wildlife agency) going to stop someone from stealing a gun? How does it prevent someone from walking into a movie theater and shooting up the place? How does banning the guns least likely to be used in crime, prevent crime?
  
  Taking a class reinforces the lesson that guns are not toys and need to be stored appropriately and safely. That will help prevent theft and also the biggest group for accidental gun deaths is toddlers because people don't view their gun as deadly. The permits can also be used in conjunction with removing guns from people who are violent.
Wow. Only took 26 years.
- You can still get them if you have the finances to take a couple days off work, are white enough for your county sheriff, and can pay for a permit that allows you to take a safety class that you also pay for.
Keep up the good work. Ban semi auto guns.
