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.
