Confused how Assembly Bill 96 is labelled an anti-gun bill…unless the anti-gun part is not being able to harvest animals already illegal to harvest.
Still scratching my head on how idiotic people can get that think “Gun Free Zones” protect anyone other than the criminals who do not care about the laws to begin with. So how will Senate Bill 707 help anything?!?!
As for Senate Bill 347…If you want those offenses to take away a persons rights…MAKE THOSE FELONIES!
