State Senator Withdraws Semi-Auto Ban Bill After Your Calls and E-Mails Overwhelm his Office!
Last week, state Senate Majority Leader Philip Baruth introduced Senate Bill 32 , legislation that would have outlawed the manufacture, possession, sale and transfer of thousands of popular semi-automatic firearms and would also ban ammunition magazines which hold more than ten rounds. Thanks to your calls and e-mails, Senator Baruth withdrew this bill from consideration within a week of its introduction.
This does not mean that the fight is over. Senator Baruth and other anti-gun legislators have made it clear they plan to pursue this type of legislation this session.
