[Raoul Duke]

Joe Dorman is looking better all the time:

Only five state lawmakers received the National Rifle Association of America’s top rating.
Three Democrats – Senator Jerry Ellis and Reps. Joe Dorman and Eric Proctor – and two Republicans – Reps. Jason Murphey and John Enns – received the organization’s “A+ “ rating.
Dorman said is honored to be among the state’s most staunch supporters of Second Amendment rights.
“I’m honored to receive the highest rating possible by the NRA. I was raised by a dad who was a lifelong hunter who taught me the importance of firearm safety. I am thankful to be in a position to protect the rights of law-abiding Oklahomans to own and carry a firearm, whether it is for self-defense, hunting or even recreation,” said Dorman, D-Rush Springs. “I think the NRA and local Oklahoma Rifle Association are strong allies to those of us on the front lines of shaping Oklahoma gun policy.”

Oklahoma: Overwhelmingly Supported Pro-Gun Bill Vetoed by Governor
Posted on April 29, 2014

Today, in a surprising move, Governor Mary Fallin (R) vetoed high-priority NRA-supported legislation, House Bill 2461. As previously reported, HB 2461 was sent to Governor Fallin for her signature following nearly unanimous passage in the Oklahoma Legislature. HB 2461 passed unanimously in the Senate and passed in the House by a 92 to 1 vote.
Authored in the House by state Representative Mike Turner (R-82) and in the Senate by state Senator Nathan Dahm (R-33), HB 2461 would require that a chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) sign an application for the transfer of any item regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) within fifteen days if the applicant is not prohibited by law from receiving it.
This important policy improvement would prevent an arbitrary personal bias from determining Oklahoma firearm policy and ensure that qualified, law-abiding Oklahomans will not be denied their ability to legally possess and own NFA items. The reforms in HB 2461 benefit law-abiding Oklahoma Second Amendment supporters by ensuring that the process to obtain NFA items already legal in Oklahoma remains consistent, fact-based and objective.
Despite today's veto, the NRA will be working tirelessly to ensure passage and enactment of this legislation this year. It is critical that you call your state Representative and Senator and respectfully urge them to work with the NRA to ensure this widely supported important policy improvement does not fall victim to political games. Contact information for your state Representative can be found here. Contact information for your state Senator can be found here. Please thank the bill sponsors for their continued dedication to the enactment of this measure this session.
Also, please call Governor Mary Fallin and send her a clear message that Second Amendment supporters in Oklahoma support this measure and demand enactment of this protection.

So it seems that hjr1026 has passed, but from the wording of the bill it seems it was intended to go to a popular vote. Am I reading this incorrectly?

 

[Old Fart]

There's a real pissing contest going on at the capital now.

 

[MCVetSteve]

So is it that proposed amendments to the state constitution must be approved by the constituency?

I wonder if this is why?

Gov. Mary Fallin lashed out at the Legislature on Tuesday for failing to address key issues facing Oklahoma and singled out the House of Representatives for special criticism for rejecting a bond measure to fix the crumbling Capitol.
To emphasize her point, she announced that she was vetoing 15 House bills that she said were flawed, bad policy or not relevant to the concerns of most people.
She said she hopes the vetoes will send a message to the Legislature to “step it up” and deal with serious issues.

Yup that's what I was referring to.

Yup that's what I was referring to.

Sent her an email stating that I expect more from my governor than temper tantrums. She'll likely never see it anyway.

 

[RollingRock]

Sent email to mary and also tweeted to her office. After that tweeted that Dorman2014 might be the way to go for 2A

Guys and Gals,

Hit up your state Rep and tell them to override the veto. I've done just that via email and also told them to send a message to Mother Mary that they can play her game too. Work on nothing but overriding her vetoes before they do a darn thing else. Here is a link to look up your rep and get their email. Do it! Do it now!
