2022 Legislative Session Kickoff
The 2022 legislative session officially starts Tuesday 1/11 and there isn’t much of a stay of execution for gun owners this year. The first gun control bills will have a public hearing on Wednesday 1/12 in the House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee at 10:00 AM. Three new bills that were pre-filed this year will be heard. These are:
Remote Testimony and Check In
Whether you want to actually testify on these bills, or just log your position on them for the official record, you can do so by visiting the House Committee Sign In page which is available now.

Contacting Representatives
As always it’s important for all of us to let our representatives and the committee members know that we oppose these bills. Unless we speak up, our voices don’t get heard!

What We’re Expecting in 2022
Bob Furgeson’s #1 priority remains, as always, banning magazines and “assault weapons.” We’re expecting the bills that didn’t move last year to get a renewed push this year.
While there have only been a handful of bills pre-filed for the session, it’s certainly possible that additional bills will be submitted throughout the session. All the gun-control bills that did not pass or fail last year will carry over as well as we’re in the second year of the 2021-2022 biennium. So be on the lookout for old bills to filter into committee meetings and public hearings.
