Leaders of the Oklahoma Legislature are in the midst of a political showdown that has one conservative activist calling for the head of the state Senate to be removed from his leadership position.
Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat’s decision not to hear House Bill 1236 in its original form has the president of the powerful Oklahoma Second Amendment Association calling for Treat to be removed as Oklahoma’s top senator.

On the Senate floor Tuesday, Treat defended his decision to amend the bill to create a unit within the attorney general’s office to evaluate federal actions and defend the state’s rights.

Bills to ban firearms from the grounds of state capitol buildings in Washington State and Virginia are still advancing, but as we detail on today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co, several other states are moving to protect the right of citizens to bear arms, even under the statehouse domes.

There have been plenty of lawmakers in Richmond objecting to the proposal, but unfortunately they’re all in the Republican minority.
