Louisiana Action Alert: Support HB45 And Help Support the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

[sailingaway]

House Bill 45, the Louisiana Manufactured Firearms and Ammunition Act, has been assigned to the State House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice. It would nullify federal regulations under the “interstate commerce clause” on any firearm made and retained within Louisiana.

This bill states, in part: “all regulation of intrastate commerce is expressly reserved to the authority of the states. Manufacturing and sales of certain firearms, firearm accessories,and ammunition which are manufactured solely within the borders of the state of Louisiana and deemed to be matters of intrastate commerce and are not subject to federal regulation.”

HB45 not only protects the firearms within the state of Louisiana, but will also encourage firearm manufacturers to move to Louisiana from oppressive state laws elsewhere.

Passing HB45 will also promote job growth and protect firearms within the state of Louisiana. This bill was read on April 8th and needs to be approved by committee so it can move to the full house.. Your help is needed right now to make that happen.

4. Encourage your local community to take action as well. Present the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act to your city county, your town council, or your county commissioners. Various local governments around the country are already passing similar resolutions and ordinances. Local legislative action is a great way to strengthen a statewide campaign against 2nd Amendment violations.

UPDATE!!!!! Louisiana HB45 worded to allow Louisiana to determine your rights to own firearms. Wording says the state will decide who can own firearms and what kind. It also creates impossible hurdles and extra criteria to obtain a newly formed license to make firearms. This is gun control flipped to be enacted at state level, it's also in the works for other states.
