Gun control advocates are using every possible avenue to disarm law-abiding sportsmen and gun owners, from turning them into criminals by crossing an unknown jurisdiction line to trying to track their firearm and ammunition purchases with their credit cards.
Louisiana Senate Bill 194 and Senate Bill 301 are two important bills that will protect the sportsmen of the Pelican State from those exact gun control tactics. Both bills passed their respective committees and are headed to the Senate floor for consideration.
SB 194 clarifies and strengthens the state’s firearm preemption law. This important bill prohibits a governing authority of a political subdivision from enacting, or enforcing any ordinance, order, regulation, policy, procedure, rule, or any other form of executive or legislative action more restrictive than state law concerning in any way the manufacture, sale, purchase, possession, carrying, storage, ownership, taxation, transfer, transportation, license, or registration of firearms, ammunition, or components of firearms or ammunition, firearms accessories, knives, edged weapons, or any combination thereof.
SB 301 prohibits a financial entity from using a firearms merchant category code (MCC) to distinguish a firearms retailer from other retailers.

With gun control advocates looking for any opportunity to suppress hunting, shooting, and self-defense it is more important now than ever for the Pelican State to protect its sportsmen by passing these two critical bills.
Don’t forget to share this important alert with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen and ask them to email their state Senators urging them to vote “Yes” on SB 194 and SB 301. Louisiana is a sportsmen’s paradise, and it must be protected.
