URGENT – TESTIMONY NEEDED IN SUPPORT OF SB 2845 SD2
he House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing this Friday, March 15, at 2 pm in Room 325 on SB2845 SD2, an important bill addressing ammunition safety.
Please submit testimony supporting this bill by Thursday, March 14 at 2pm.
SB 2845 SD2 AMMUNITION (IN SUPPORT)
(Note: The full title of this bill is “SB2845 SD2” but on the testimony page it shows as “SB2845”. This is the same bill.)
SB 2845 SD2 prohibits persons under the age of 21 from purchasing or possessing ammunition (with exceptions such as hunting, target shooting, and members of the military or law enforcement).
Talking point:
A person must be 21 years old to buy or carry a firearm but there is no current restriction on purchase or possession of ammunition. This bill corrects that deficiency and keeps ammunition out of the hands of minors with specific exceptions in controlled situations.
