Dahm substitutes two Second Amendment bills

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – An Oklahoma state senator has filed two floor substitutes that he says will strengthen and protect the Second Amendment.

House Bill 1078 would strengthen the power of county sheriffs by authorizing them to detain or arrest any federal employee within their county jurisdiction if the employee is attempting to enforce any federal act, law, executive, administrative or court order, rule, policy or regulation that is in violation of the Second Amendment Sanctuary Act.

The Second Amendment Sanctuary Act guarantees the right of any law-abiding citizen in the state to keep and bear arms.

“Last session, we took an incredibly important step to secure the right to keep and bear arms for all Oklahomans, as protected by the United States Constitution,” Sen. Nathan Dahm said. “As the Biden Administration continues to disregard the Constitution and our individual rights, it’s becoming abundantly clear that we must push back. This measure would add an additional layer of protection from overreach by the federal government. Simply put – don’t come for our guns.”
