"Speaker" Brad Wilson Advances 3 Democrat Gun Control Bills: Don't Fall for the Games
Alert for 2/23/2020: House "speaker" Brad Wilson is distracting gun owners from real threats to their rights by advancing 3 over-the-top crazy, Democrat-sponsored gun control bills to his hand-picked committees. It's an age-old tactic designed to keep Citizens in fear and chaos.
These committees are holding dog-and-pony-shows (aka "public hearings") tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 24). For those desiring to observe the entertaining political theater, Utah Firearms Association put out hearing details.
Wilson and his criminal cohorts want gun owners to fear that these wacky bills will pass unless they drop everything and rush up to the capitol to plead for mercy. Meanwhile, Wilson is advancing other gun control bills that will, without your serious attention, likely pass. Rather than fall for Wilson's bait-and-switch games, consider what you can do to more effectively resist his comprehensive gun control agenda.
