"SB 319 would ban the possession and future purchase of certain semi-automatic firearms unless an individual has obtained a two-year, $100 permit from the State Police".

Kind of hazy, isn't it?
The word POSSESSION, infers they will make ILLEGAL, "certain" semi-autos one may ALREADY possess through legal and registered purchase!!

WHAT "certain" semi-autos will be banned without a "permit"?

Do we REALLY want some leftist Congress Critters or State Police DEFINING "certain"?

If this passes --- and allows the state to use previously legal "registered" purchase records to run down previously legal owners to make them secure ADDITIONAL approval at the cost of several hundred dollars to retain firearms they purchased legally and registered ------ then the registration process must be destroyed..

Thanks for the ping.

I don't expect it to pass, but it is a sign than the gun grabbers are continuing to push their statist agenda.

It also goes to prove the fact that when gunowners fail to take the offensive at the state level, the antis fill the void. Contrast Louisiana to Virginia, which has a very assertive state RKBA organization, and which has gotten two dozen or so pro-gun bills enacted in the last couple of years despite a RAT governor.

The truth is that most politicians don't give a rat's ass about our Rights. Witness the assault on the BOR in the last few decades. The amendment that has been damaged the least is only in that condition because of 4 million NRA members and thousands of others active at the state level. Without them, the 2nd would be in as bad a shape as the 9th or the 4th.
