Bullcrap. Nothing in the law says OK can't have background checks if they want, just that the feds may not require them, since they have no jurisdiction. Nothing in the law says what the regulations may be, it just states the obvious that it should be a state legislative matter and not federal as there is no federal jurisdiction. Asshat.
Guns and freedom ping
Whatta dork.
Can the legislature override his veto?
That’s what you get when you elect a Democrat for governor. Tow the party line, screw the constits.
Hmmm, standard RAT behavior.
We’ll have special prisons for all of them following the revolution.
I’m looking for old pre-blueprint blueprints of the Bastille so that we can keep these slime in the environment they deserve.
A Democrat, wouldn’t you know it.
I just looked him up on Wikipedia, and found two very interesting items:
In the 2002 election for governor, Henry defeated former Republican Congressman Steve Largent, an NFL Hall of Famer, by just over one-half of one percent in a race that also included Independent candidate Gary Richardson, a retired Federal Prosecutor. Henry received 448,143 votes (43.27%) to Largent’s 441,277 votes (42.61%). Richardson, a former republican candidate, received 146,200 votes (14%).

Henry is pro-choice and has vetoed legislation to mandate ultrasound viewings prior to abortion procedures.

On May 27, 2004, Governor Brad Henry issued Executive Order 04-21, which created the Governor’s Ethnic American Advisory Council. [7] The Ethnic American Advisory Council then published an English translation of the Qur’an embossed with the Oklahoma State seal [8] which was then distributed to 149 Oklahoma state legislators. There were 35 lawmakers who declined to accept the copy of the Qur’an that they were offered. [9] After refusing the copy of the Qur’an, Republican State Representative Rex Duncan wrote a letter to his colleagues explaining, “Most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology.” Further, Duncan said during a TV interview “I think it was inappropriate that they used a state centennial seal on a religious item.”
That’s what you get when a spoiler runs on a third party line and throws the election to a DEMOCRAT.
Hey Governor Dumbass! The criminals already have guns!!
I wonder if this action will affect the Gov's NRA rating?
It seems this rating might not mean much.
The [Oklahoma state] Senate on Wednesday failed to override the governor’s veto of a measure that says firearms made and kept in Oklahoma would not be subject to federal regulations.
In a vote of 28-16, a motion to override Gov. Brad Henry’s veto failed.
Sen. Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso, made the motion and says he’ll continue trying to bypass the governor for the approval of Senate Bill 1685.
Because the bill has an emergency clause, it needed 36 votes or two-thirds of the full Senate to successfully override the governor’s veto. There was no debate on the bill.
A similar measure passed the House on Wednesday without an emergency clause and now heads to the governor.
Because the measure doesn’t have an emergency clause, it would only need 32 votes to successfully override a veto.
“I’m going to ask my Democrat friends to help me protect Second Amendment Rights, rather than the governor and his personal agenda,” Brogdon said.

Wow. An "A" rating from the almighty NRA, and he grabs a line right out of the Brady Bunch handbook when the chips are down.
So how is it you all are electing Democrats in flyover paradise? Seriously, I don't want to hear another crack about "RINOs" in NJ or MA. Clean up your own backyard first.
Oh, and I be the NRA gives him another "A" next election cycle.
OTOH, the terms "demoncrat" and "prevaricating piece of communist excrement" are absolutely equal.
