Duncan's Gun Rights Bill Goes To Henry
Legislation to prohibit employers from asking a potential employee if they own a firearm is one signature away from becoming law. The bill is now on Governor Henry's desk.
House Bill 1025, by Rep. Rex Duncan, is in response to President Barack Obama asking potential cabinet members if they owned or possessed a firearm, and if so, for its registration information on their background application.
“I was deeply offended by President Obama’s question. It was an infringement on Second Amendment rights, and I want to make sure no Oklahoma employers, either public or private, are allowed to ask a similar question on a job application,” said Duncan, R-Sand Springs.
Currently, there are over 80 million gun owners in the United States and Duncan said it is their right and their business.
“Exercising your constitutional rights should not be a barrier to employment in America,” Duncan said. “It’s that simple.”
