Calling Okies and Others

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma legislator said he hopes to make some changes to a new law that makes it illegal for authorities to confiscate weapons during a state of emergency.

State Rep. Mike Shelton said House Bill 2696 has placed the power of the law into the wrong hands.

"During states of emergency, I think police need total control. They don't need to worry who has guns and who doesn't. If the governor calls for Oklahomans to relinquish their guns, the public needs to do so," Shelton said.


That was the idea in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, when police confiscated guns from residents even if they were legal. This new Oklahoma law removes that power.

"What's the reason of owning a gun if they're just going to take it away from you," said King's Pawn and Gun Shop owner David Hasel.

Hasel said the new law is better for Oklahoma and registered-gun owners. He said that before this legislation, criminals had special treatment.

"Why should the criminals have guns and not the law-abiding citizens?" he asked.

Shelton said his battle is not over, and he intends not only to ask the governor to veto HB2696 but also to overturn the stand-your-ground bill.

The stand-your-ground law has already passed the Senate. It would allow you to protect yourself with lethal force if you feel threatened in a public place, such as a mall or a restaurant.

Shelton said it's up to law enforcement to protect citizens in public places.

The bill is in the House and expected to pass.

I have sent my note off to Rep. Mike Shelton <democrat> expressing my concerns about him trying to meddle with this legislation, I'm asking that anyone that is willing please do the same. You can send him a note at the following email address... mikeshelton@okhouse.gov

ROFLMAO!!:D "Hear ye, hear ye, all sheeple: You will immediately throw all your guns at the feet of the Lord Governor."

Yeah, right...:barf:

Obviously, it is time for this Shelton schmuck to find a new line of work...
 
I dropped Shelton a note requesting he not look north when he gets ran out of OK (I'm from Kansas).

Socialist thinking is rampant, thanks for posting this story.
 
Thanks for the heads up!

Here where I live we don't see many law enforcement agents even if we call them. Shelton must live in the city.
 
He's not in my district, but I'll let him know my displeasure. Although, I don't think it will change his attitude toward our rights. After all, these guys are responsible for me having to get rid of my fightin' chickens.;)
 
Mike's reply...

I already posted this reply in the other thread about the same topic, but I had to post it here too. I just can't get over the typo.

So I posted this same article last night and was also blown away by Rep. Mike Shelton <D>. So much so that I sent him a nice letter telling him why I think he is wrong about his position in the above article. I got a reply today, not bad, I just can't believe after what he said he had the nuts to send this back to me...

I believe in protecting my family too. And I thank you so much for you taking time out to right me.

I can't help but think of the irony in his misprint. No problem Mike, I enjoyed "righting" you too.

Mr. Shelton,

"During states of emergency, I think police need total control. They don't need to worry who has guns and who doesn't. If the governor calls for Oklahomans to relinquish their guns, the public needs to do so," Shelton said.

When you get "ran out of Oklahoma on a rail" for your Anti-Constitutional, Socialist thinking; don't look North....Please.

Sincerely,

Kansas Resident
