Oklahoma will pass easily, if it is set before the people.
We will see if the Senate leadership is willing, or if they find a way to kill the amendment. The previous leadership killed it before.
The Oklahoma State House looks like the US Capitol building is giving it doggy style to the US Supreme Court building.
Heller I believe also used this phrase or a similar one, and I have a problem with that. The AR pattern modern sporting rifle is in common use today, but there was a time when it was innovative and not in common use.
If you make exceptions for innovative weapons, you are in essence "freezing" the list of "approved" weapons.
Any judge trying to screw around with the 2nd amendment will get the 2nd amendment right between their eyes.

In Oklahoma, we have a couple of powerful anti-gun-rights Republican senators who take pride in stepping on pro-gun-rights legislation. Thankfully, we also have term limits.
We also have a very strong anti-gun-rights lobby in the higher education sector, led by former US Senator David Boren, President of the University of Oklahoma and a member of the Advisory Board for Mike Bloomberg's "Everytown for Gun Safety".
Given the makeup of our legislature, one must note that in Oklahoma, Democrats do not stop pro-gun-rights legislation; Republicans do.
Despite all of that, OK2A continues to represent many Oklahoma gun owners and is a strong presence at the Oklahoma Capitol. OK2A has been responsible for some significant wins in the area of strengthening the rights of gun owners in Oklahoma, and I am proud to count myself among their members.
Thank you for the article!
Unfortunately as we saw with gay marriage, a state constitutional amendment is worth about as much as a scrawl on the wall of a bathroom stall. States rights are essentially dead, the states serve as little more than administrative districts with little real power other than to enforce the dictates of the federal government.
