Sen. Randy Brogdon
Governor’s Desk Next Stop for Oklahoma
Firearms Freedom Act
State Sen. Randy
Brogdon said he is extremely pleased that a measure to strengthen
Oklahomans’ Second Amendment Rights will soon be on the governor’s
desk. Senate Bill 1685, the “Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act,”
authored by Brogdon, R-Owasso, and Rep. Charles Key, R-Oklahoma
City, was approved by the House on Tuesday.
“As I talk to citizens in my district and throughout the state,
they’ve shared their concerns that the powers that be in Washington
are increasingly eroding their Constitutional rights,” Brogdon
said. “In particular, Oklahomans are worried about assaults
on their Second Amendment rights. Senate Bill 1685 is designed to
further guarantee that freedom is not taken from our citizens.”
Under the provisions of Senate Bill 1685, no firearms or ammunition
manufactured in Oklahoma and remaining in the state could be subject
to any federal regulations, including federal registration requirements.
“Not only will this bill further strengthen the constitutional
rights of Oklahomans to keep and bear arms, but we believe the provisions
contained in this bill will also help attract gun manufacturers
to our state, creating jobs and boosting our economy,” Brogdon
said. “I hope the Governor will recognize that this bill represents
an important tool in protecting the rights guaranteed to our citizens
by the Founding Fathers by signing SB 1685 into law.”
