Senate Bill 401, introduced by State Senator Vivian Davis Figures (D-33), is another feel good attempt to further restrict firearm owner freedoms. Under SB401, gun owners would be required to store their firearms in such a manner that they would be inaccessible to any person under the age of 17 — for example, by locking guns in a secure container.

In Valiant, Okla., on Oct. 1, 2002, during a surprise search, Weyerhaeuser Co. sent drug sniffing dogs into the parking lot of its paper mill. The operation found no drugs, but 12 workers were fired after guns were found in their vehicles. Weyerhaeuser’s raid sparked a firestorm of protest that resulted in the Oklahoma legislature modifying its laws to hold employers criminally liable for prohibiting employees from storing firearms in locked vehicles on company property. After many years of legal wrangling, in February 2009, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that workers in Oklahoma have the constitutional right to keep guns in their vehicles parked on their employers’ parking lots.

It’s true that President Obama hasn’t advanced the gun control agenda. He hasn’t even sought a renewed ban on "assault" weapons. However, the idea that President Obama has more in common with Wayne LaPierre than with Sarah Brady is misleading. Remember the "bitter clingers" comment? Therefore, if eternal vigilance is freedom’s price, then complacency must be its worst enemy. The Second Amendment is under assault even as the Supreme Court seems poised to recognize the individual right it protects.

Gun rights advocates spent more than three hours Monday urging a legislative committee to undo the ban on firearms and dangerous weapons in the Statehouse and adjourning buildings.The polite but firm tone from witnesses came in response to the Dec. 21 decision of the Joint Committee on Legislative Facilities Committee to adopt a firearms/weapons ban without advance notice or public hearing.

Daley backed changes to state law that would require background checks for those buying a gun in a private sale, ban popular semi-autos, require that gun dealers be licensed and ration the number of handgun purchases to one per person per month. Those were all ideas that failed in previous legislative sessions.

With the imposition of Bill C 68 in 1995, for no discernible reason except urban angst and anti masculine paranoia, the government tied the ownership and acquisition of all firearms to a bureaucratic rigmarole. It’s a procedure as intrusive, humiliating, and astronomically expensive as it’s useless that is, useless for any purpose other than reminding citizens that in Canada the state can do anything.
