"Bad" Bills
Description: Bills that make statute worse
and violate UT Gun Rights'
Affirmative Agenda.
Observations:
"Bad Bills" should be killed; not amended. Bill
sponsors should be required to
go back to the drawing board, obtain more input from gun
owners, and complete the due diligence they failed to
complete before promoting the bill.

SB 102 |
Recruit Communist Chinese NON-CITIZENS to Crush Utah
Gun Owners:
Allows Utah agencies to hire non-US foreign agents with
temporary "resident" status as become Statute Enforcement Agents
(SEAs).
According to lines 34-39 and 78-83, they
would now be able to accept any temporary "resident
of the United States who: (A) has been in the United
States legally for at least five years; and (B) has
legal authorization to work in the United States..."
This is a dream-come-true for the Chinese
Communist Party and their People's Liberation Army.
Their infiltration agents can now easily and openly "police" Utah's gun
owners. Once
in place, they can be "federalized" and utilized to
invade homes, seize firearms, and incarcerate or murder
those who resist.
And these foreign agents need
not infiltrate the US for a full 5 years, because
"residency" is neither concretely defined nor
enforced. They could have made a trip to the US
five years ago. Or they could "self-identify" as
having resided in the US.
This also steals
jobs from American Citizens, and demostrates again the
deep hatred, loathing, and contempt legislators and
lobbyists have for you.
Note: See the
Defending Utah article exposing this
abomination.

SUPPORTED by the secretive

Utah attorney general Sean "Rambo" Reyes, as well
as the Utah Sheriff's' Association and Utah Chiefs of

SB 195

Forced Vaccinations by
Local Tyrants:
Creates sweeping new statutory powers that can be
exercised by any county or municipal regime and
"health" department.
Under the new term "local orders of constraint," a
mayor, or even an unelected city manager, could order
Citizens to be forcibly vaccinated, medicated,
incarcerated (home arrest or in detention centers),
have their firearms seized, and
their other property stolen.
Current statutory
religious exemptions, firearms exemptions, or
requirements that public hearings and/or judicial
review be conducted, would NOT apply.
UT Gun Rights argued against these "local orders of
constraint" in a previous bill attempt in 2020.
Many of those arguments are still applicable in this
bill. Threat briefing to come.

Libertas
Institute SUPPORTS this
attack on all Utahans. |

HB
76 S1
|
Elitist GOP Deep State Declares Open Season on
Homeless Gun
Owners: Allows state and local agencies and
government entities to prohibit homeless gun owners
from defending themselves inside government homeless
shelters. All possession could be banned without
requiring so much as a secure storage locker (see
lines 112-117).
This corrupt regime
has done much to impoverish gun owners. Now it
seeks to extinguish their
ability to defend themselves in facilities they paid
for with their tax dollars.

Libertas Institute,
Utah Carry Laws, and
Utah Shooting SPORTS Council

Gun Control by Unelected Bureaucrats: Reauthorizes

statutes. These rules include gun controls. |

HB 101 |
Self-Incrimination for
Refusal to Surrender Firearms:
Forces those convicted of NON-VIOLENT "offenses," who
are ordered to surrender their firearms, to sign a
self-incriminating confessional that he/she has
surrendered all firearms, and is guilty of additional
crimes if he/she is ever caught with firearms in
his/her possession.
See the "HB
100: Veteran Disarmament Courts" threat briefing,
and also the 9/23/2019 alert, "Warning!
Utah's 'Cannabis' Bill Designed to Entrap Gun Owners,"
alert as this ties in with the ongoing effort to
disarm veterans and other perceived threats to the
globalist gun control agenda.

HB 200 |
Reaffirming Government-Endorsed Theft of Firearms from
Innocent Owners:
Existing state statute empowers Statute Enforcement
Agents ("SEAs") to accept and retain firearms stolen
from innocent gun owners, without any meaningful due
process protections. This
bill is marketed as an improvement. According to lines
50-56:
"(b) [A] If
the owner of a firearm requests return of the firearm
in person at the law enforcement agency's office, the law
enforcement agency:
(i) may not hold [a] the firearm
under this section [if
the law enforcement agency obtains the firearm in a
manner other than the owner cohabitant voluntarily
presenting, of the owner cohabitant's own free will,
the firearm to the law enforcement agency at the
agency's office.];
and
(ii) shall return the firearm to the owner."
How long will SEAs take to return it? No
time period is required, and no criminal penalties are
attached for failure to comply immediately. In
other words, this is feel-good, largely- unenforcable
language.
Once again, a sickening
double-standard is established. On the one hand, gun
owners are guilty of "criminal offenses" for
unknowingly and unintentionally violating nearly any
statute. On the other hand, corrupt Statute
Enforcement Agents (SEAs) can do whatever they want
and violate statute whenever they wish.
HB
200 is par for the course in Utah's insane asylum:
Rather than repeal the entirety of these offensive gun
control provisions, false "friends" attempt to paint
the ugly pig pretty.

Less Likely

The following Democrat wet-dream, feel-good bills allow them to tell their effeminate snowflake supporters they
"tried." Cowardly Republicans can also pretend
their gun control
bills aren't so traitorous. |

HB 205 |
Brian King's Perennial Wet Dream:
Similar to past bills King has floated, this year's
trial balloon would empower federal agents to
micro-manage all private firearm sales. Some have
referred to it as "universal background checks.
King got a wee creative this year, adding a
federal regime tax for the "service" it would provide.

"Ugly" Bills
Description:
Poorly-written bills
that masquerade as positive improvements, and that harmfully
distract and divert the attention and efforts of gun owners.
Did anyone ever take you on a
snipe hunt as a child, chasing after an imaginary and
ever-elusive target you could never find? It is a timeless and
effective tactic of professional manipulators to
send well-intentioned citizens on snipe hunts as a diversion.
The justifiable emotion and energy of
the citizen regarding an issue of importance is captured and
applied to a task that can't or won't be accomplished — or is
useless in its effect. The status quo is thereby preserved
and injustice is advanced.

HB
60 |
Carry Concealed without a "Permit"
in Some Places:
Provides that an individual who is 21 years or older,
and may "lawfully" possess a firearm, may carry a
"loaded" or "unloaded" concealed firearm in some public
and private areas without a permit. Exceptions
include school premises (loaded or unloaded), vehicles
(loaded), and places where concealed carry is entirely "prohibited."
This means, for example, that gun
owners carrying "loaded" concealed on the street would
be required to "unload" their concealed weapon before
boarding at UTA bus or taxi in order to avoid a Class B
Misdemeanor and up to 6 months in jail. This
creates a highly dangerous and vulnerable situation.
Weapons rendered "unloaded" also drastically reduce a
gun owner's defensive response time
—
when fractions-of-a-second can mean the
difference between life and death.
Your
supposed "friends" are skilled at stealing defeat from
the mouth of victory. After
many years of flagrantly violating their
constitutional oath of office by opposing permitless
carry, the best they can do is to cobble together a
schizophrenic hodge-podge of confusion and danger. |
