The Oklahoma Senate approved Tuesday Senate Bill 631, which sets up a framework to protect Second Amendment rights. Senator Warren Hamilton calls his bill the Second Amendment Sanctuary State Act.
“This measure builds a wall of protection around our Constitutionally-protected, God-given, blood-bought rights to keep and bear arms,” Hamilton said. “Declaring Oklahoma as a Second Amendment Sanctuary State is an important ‘win’ in our battle to reclaim and protect our individual liberties. I’m thankful for the support of my colleagues approving the bill, as well as the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership for their crucial assistance in getting it passed.”
SB 631 calls any government sponsored gun buy-back, confiscation or surrender of firearms to be an infringement of the U.S. Constitution.
Hamilton says the bill also has the support of 23 sheriffs.
The measure moves to the Oklahoma House.
