A few years ago, anti-gun politicians tried to pass a state-level Lautenberg gun ban similar to the one Senator Lee Schoenbeck sponsored and promoted this year.
...
So why are Schoenbeck and other proponents so insistent about creating a new state-level gun ban?Not only is the Schoenbeck ban a complete infringement of the right to bear arms, it is absolutely unnecessary to the stated goal of helping victims of the federal Lautenberg ban.Although Sen.Schoenbeck was made aware of this fact, he continued to push his gun ban.
...
Schoenbeck is more committed to the gun ban agenda than he is to the citizens he was elected to represent.
When SDGO members flooded the Capitol with more than two thousand petitions, postcards, emails, phone calls and letters, Sen.Schoenbeck responded to this outpouring of public opinion by mounting a campaign to discredit and ignore his constituents.
