Gun and Magazine Ban Bills Scheduled for Committee Hearings

In the coming days, a huge number of anti-2A bills, and one pro-2A bill, will be heard in committees. It is absolutely imperative that gun owners speak out on these bills.

So far, committee chairs have been giving priority to people attending in-person over those joining virtually.House FloorHB9 - The firearm owner liability bill where you could be criminally charged for someone else's actions with your gun.
