(KOTA) &#8211; On Thursday, two bills submitted by South Dakota Representative Dusty Johnson passed out of the House Judiciary Committee. The bills focus on the Second Amendment and the right to own a firearm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To be able to purchase a firearm in the United States, you need to have an identification card such as a driver\u2019s license, passport, or military ID. However, Tribal IDs are not currently accepted, and because of this, Representative Johnson re-introduced the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dustyjohnson.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/johnson-re-introduces-bill-protect-tribal-members-firearm-access\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tribal Firearm Access Act<\/a>, which would classify a Tribal ID as a valid form of identification for the purchase of firearms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThey should be able to use that same government-issued photo ID to be able to go through purchasing a gun. They still have to go through the background check, they still have to go through the same process with a federal firearms dealer. But it makes it clear that having a tribal ID is just as good as having a state-issued driver\u2019s license for the purchasing of firearms,\u201d stated Rep. Johnson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Also Thursday, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dustyjohnson.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/johnson-rounds-re-introduce-firearm-access-bill-rv-ers-active-duty-military\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travelers Gun Rights Act<\/a> was passed out of the same committee. The bill, also introduced by Johnson, would allow firearm access for those who don\u2019t have a permanent physical address.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIn many states to be considered a resident, you have to have lived in a permanent residence for quite a period of time, a year is not unusual, and you have to be considered that resident before you can purchase a firearm. That isn\u2019t fair to military spouses. People who travel all over the country following that military member. It\u2019s also going to make it that much easier for RV-ers, people who don\u2019t have a permanent address that they\u2019re at day in and day out, they\u2019re out on the road, to also be able to exercise their second amendment rights,\u201d Johnson continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Senator Mike Rounds also supported the Traveler\u2019s Gun Rights Act. The next step for both bills is the full House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. House Judiciary Committee approves South Dakota firearm legislation RAPID CITY, S.D.
