❌ HB354
Enact the Keeping Our Survivors Safe Act
Current Status: In House Committee (Public Safety)
Summary
The bill prohibits individuals convicted of first degree misdemeanor domestic violence from possessing firearms or dangerous ordnance. It amends existing laws regarding firearm possession and outlines the process for individuals to apply for relief from such prohibitions after serving their sentences. Violating this prohibition is classified as a felony of the third degree.
Rationale
The bill restricts the rights of individuals to possess firearms based on misdemeanor convictions, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of self-ownership and the right to keep and bear arms. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate against laws that infringe on individual rights, particularly regarding firearm ownership.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over individual rights
- Potential for unjust penalties against individuals for non-violent offenses
- Erosion of Second Amendment rights
