OK2A taking a hard stand against Fallon

[Buzzgun]

Just left messages with Shultz and Marlatt's offices, spoke with my senator's office and with Senator Dahm's office. Sen Dahm's office asked for an e-mail detailing the issues of getting signed in Tulsa, Co. which I provided. Guess I'll see if anyone returns my calls.

I called my Senator and told them that overriding the governess' veto of these bills is the only legitimate means to resolve this situation and that I expect the Senate to act accordingly. If the Senate does not take that course of action, I requested that my Senator vote against Marlatt, Shulz and Bingman next time they are up for election to leadership positions in the Senate, then I forwarded that message on to Shulz, Marlatt and Bingman. Maybe that will get their attention?

In her brief veto message, Gov. Fallin asserted H.B. 2461 attempted to regulate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and explosives. However, Gillepsie said, “This bill had absolutely nothing to do with the ATF or FBI. It regulated the chief LEO.”

She doesn't even understand what/why she's vetoing.

Update from OK2A

If the Senate fails to override the veto, the Speaker of the House can create a set of new bills that all three of the vetoed 2A bills could be put into and send them to the Senate for a vote, then on to the Governor. This is what is more likely to happen. The Senate President Pro Tem, Sen. Bingman, has indicated to me that if the bills are sent back to the Senate, they will be voted on and sent on to the Governor, who has indicated that she would sign them into law this time.

We are told that the Governor has come to regret her decision to include the 2A bills in those that she vetoed. We have been assured that she now wants to sign these three bills into law. The main issue that we have to worry about now is time, with less than a month remaining in the session. Stay tuned and we will keep you updated.

Update from OK2A

Running out the clock. Seems to me they've taken a page from the Obama administration, via Jay Carney.

Just got this email from the NRA/ILA:

Oklahoma: Urge the State Senate to Act on House Bill 2461
Posted on May 7, 2014

Contact your state Senator TODAY

The Oklahoma Senate has yet to act on overriding Governor Mary Fallin’s (R) veto of the uncontroversial NRA-backed House Bill 2461, after the state House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to override the veto last week. Your immediate help is needed to encourage the state Senate to act on this issue!
As previously reported, HB 2461 was sent to Governor Fallin for her signature following near unanimous passage in the Oklahoma Legislature. In a surprising political move, the Governor vetoed this consensus legislation. 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.
Unfortunately, this legislation was misrepresented in the veto message. Contrary to what was stated, HB 2461 would not attempt to regulate a federal agency, but instead would make an important policy improvement on the state level, designed to prevent an arbitrary personal bias from determining Oklahoma firearm policy. This would ensure that qualified, law-abiding Oklahomans will not be denied their ability to legally possess and own items regulated under the NFA.
The reforms in HB 2461 benefit law-abiding Oklahomans by ensuring that the process to obtain NFA items already legal in Oklahoma remains consistent, fact-based and objective.
It is critical that you contact your state Senator TODAY and urge him or her to follow in the House’s footsteps and vote to override the veto of HB 2461. Respectfully urge him or her to work with the NRA to ensure this popular important policy improvement does not fall victim to political games. Contact information for your state Senator can be found here.
On behalf of our members, the NRA hopes to see this issue resolved in both legislative chambers this year, and will continue to work in every way towards a legislative victory for Oklahoma firearms owners. Should the state Senate also act, Oklahoma would be the fifth state to enact this legislation this year, following Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky and Utah.

Did the same with my senator this morning. I cc'd Schulz, Bingman and Marlatt too.

I'd really like to see them override the veto but I dont see that happening.
