Two bills were introduced in yesterday’s special legislative session on topics related to the exercise of Second Amendment freedoms. While the special session lasted only one day and these bills officially died on the calendar upon adjournment as expected, along with every other bill that wasn’t passed, they both serve as a starting place for…
Earlier this afternoon, Senator JR Claeys of Salina introduced a bill in the legislative special session that would eliminate sales taxes on firearms, ammunition, accessories, and firearm storage devices.

After days of anticipation, we received confirmation today that the Governor has chosen to sign HB 2530 which, as it was sent to the Governor’s desk, contained language broadening accountability for the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission. We’ve already detailed what this bill does, but with the Governor’s decision to sign the bill into law,…
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is yet again leading the charge to end unconstitutional federal overreach. This time, Biden’s ATF is in his sights.

SB 551 would give violent criminals yet another unfair advantage…
As of Wednesday, March 13, gun control politicians had introduced four new anti-Second Amendment bills back-to-back in the Kansas Senate. Each of these attacks on our Second Amendment freedoms was requested by Democrat Senator Cindy Holscher of Johnson County and all have been referred to the Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs.
