Jay Steagall, R-Yukon, on Friday won passage of the nation\u2019s first anti-red flag bill in the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a vote of 77-14.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 1081, The Anti-Red Flag Act, authored in the state Senate by Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, formerly won passage in that chamber with a vote of 34-9. It now moves to the governor for his consideration to be signed into law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis bill would stop any action from the federal government or even from local or state authorities that would infringe on the Second Amendment rights of our citizens,\u201d Steagall said.<\/p>\n<p>Steagall said the measure is necessary as a growing number of states have adopted such laws and federal legislative proposals have offered grants to compel states, counties or municipalities to enact policies that would allow a court or other entity to confiscate firearms or restrict gun access to otherwise law-abiding citizens deemed to be an imminent danger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople already endure background checks, age regulations and other measures that serve as a check on whether they are deemed eligible to own or operate a firearm,\u201d Steagall said. \u201cGiving the government even more power over this decision is a flagrant violation of several rights guaranteed us under the United States Constitution.\u00a0I find it impossible for any red-flag law to respect due process or the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. I have taken the oath to protect our Constitution seven times throughout my 22 years of service and nine deployments in the military, an oath that I take very seriously.\u00a0I will not stand idly by and let this freedom be stripped from us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Oklahoma!!!!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0O.
