Nice with all these pro gun bills introduced hopefully Oklahoma can move out of the gun grabbers reach.

Are any guns "Made in Oklahoma"?

[Nobody]

Dont forget to take the poll on the middle left hand side of the page.

those 80% forgings are looking better every day...

[jakerz]

So.... Would this law make owning an Oklahoman made SBR, suppressor, full-auto, etc legal without having to go through the ATF and filling out a Form 4, etc? Might be a dumb question, but I would feel more dumb not asking it to find an answer.

not yet.... but soon to open is josh's AR's lol would also like to know the question up ^

I dont think that will be required. If they follow the guidelines similar to the nfa then merely engraving a standard lower which was not previously assembled as a complete weapon would qualify as being manufactured by an individual.

Got this in my inbox last night:

Lawmakers File Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act

During the past few weeks I have received many emails about 2nd amendment related legislation that will be sponsored this year in the Oklahoma. Here is a just-released updated describing one such measure of which I will be one of 15 principle authors.

Lawmakers File Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act
January 17 - 2013

OKLAHOMA CITY – State Rep. Sean Roberts will be among 15 bill authors of a measure named the Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act.

House Bill 2021 would assert the Second Amendment rights of Oklahomans by exempting guns or ammunition made in the state from federal regulations. The bill specifies that to qualify for the exemption the guns must be clearly marked as “Made in Oklahoma” and kept within state boundaries.

In 2010, the legislation was introduced as Senate Bill 1685, but was vetoed by then Gov. Brad Henry after passing in both the House and Senate.

“It doesn’t seem to matter how many times the U.S. Supreme Court upholds up our Second Amendment rights,” said Roberts, R-Hominy. “Anti-gun activists continue to seek to restrict lawful gun rights. This bill is meant to address potential federal gun control actions and regulations. I consider the legislation a states’ right bill.”

State Rep. John Bennett, a second bill author, said the bill is intended to fight off the overreach of the federal government into our state.

“I am a huge supporter of our Second Amendment rights, a certified firearms instructor with the NRA, CLEET and the U.S. Marine Corps, and a sports shooter and hunter. The bill will be the same language as Senate Bill 1685, by former Senator Randy Brogdon, in 2009. It will give Oklahomans greater protection for their right to keep and bear arms. A majority of my constituents have overwhelmingly voiced their fears of gun control by the Obama Administration and I promised I would fight to protect their constitutional rights. I will do everything in my power to ensure our constitutional rights are protected from an administration that has shown that they do not care about the rights of “We the People,” said Bennett, R-Sallisaw.

The bill’s authors are Roberts, Bennett and state Reps. Mike Ritze, Josh Cockroft, Jadine Nollan, Arthur Hulbert, Mike Reynolds, Jason Murphey, Sally Kern, Lewis Moore, Mike Sanders, Mike Turner, Tom Newell, Dan Fisher and David Brumbaugh.

Thank you for reading this article. Your interest and input are much appreciated. Please do not hesitate to email Jason.Murphey@hd31.org with your thoughts and suggestions.

Sincerely,


@JWMurphey

Good deal. This might be a good time for some gun manufacturers to set up branch operations in Oklahoma.

[BIG_MIKE2005]

Great to see them actually supporting our right. I hope this passes easily.

[mons meg]

It passed last time but was vetoed by Gov. Henry. I think it could go...

Good question. I don't think that's the intention of the Oklahoma law, and I doubt most Oklahamans would support that. But if it passes, that aspect would have to be addressed.

[Nobody]

I think the last go around, full auto was a no go, but SBR's were OK. Or atleast that was my interpretation at the time.

[david04]

I'd say it might have a good chance of passing in the current environment, and the guv might just sign it. What do you think will happen then? Can manufacturers set up some kind of final assembly operation which would produce "made in Oklahoma" guns, but without the expense of setting up an entire factory?
