Gun Rights Protection Bill Moves To House Floor

Tuttle Rep. Leslie Osborn has filed a bill that would protect Oklahomans from mandatory gun confiscations or additional registrations imposed by the federal government or United Nations treaties.

House Bill 3157 states that Oklahoma citizens are not required to participate in any international, state or federal firearms registration program and cannot have any lawfully owned firearm confiscated.


“I believe that Oklahoma citizens want their Second amendment rights strengthened and preserved. The intent of this measure is to protect them from any legislation imposed by the Federal Government or treaties entered into at the United Nations. Citizens of our state and country should always have the right to bear arms,” said Osborn.

House Bill 3157 passed the House Public Safety Committee and now goes to the floor of the House for consideration.
