Oklahoma Legislation - 2013
UPDATED 05/11/2013

Message from the Executive Director
POSITION STATEMENT ON GUN CONTROL

GUN RIGHTS ACTION ALTER

As was expected, President Barack Obama used his State of the Union speech last night to push for more restrictions on your right to own a firearm.

But he didn't tell you the entire truth behind his extreme gun ban agenda.

Watch this video now to learn the real truth about how Obama's gun control proposals would lead to gun registration...and even confiscation.

NRA-ILA is running this critical ad in several key states right now.

But it's not enough! We need to put our message in front of as many Americans as possible if we're going to win this all-out fight to save the Second Amendment.

So please, after you watch the video, I need you to make an urgently needed contribution to NRA-ILA today to help us keep this ad on the air. Whatever amount you can afford to contribute - whether it's $10 or $100 - every single dollar will help.
 

Pro-gun lobby in Oklahoma balks at federal reform plans

The most active members of Oklahoma's pro-gun lobby said President Barack Obama's push for tighter gun restrictions is "feel good" politics at the cost of sound gun policy.

Monday, Obama accused the national gun lobby of "ginning up" fears that the federal govern­ment is looking to take away gun rights in the wake of last month's Connecticut school shooting.

The remarks came in advance of gun policy reforms expected to be an­nounced Tuesday.  ( click here to read more )

The "LIST" of Anti-Gun Supporters, Organizations, Celebrities, Public Figures, etc...

The following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations. In many instances, these organizations lent their name in support of specific campaigns to pass anti-gun legislation such as the March 1995 HCI “Campaign to Protect Sane Gun Laws.” Many of these organizations were listed as “Campaign Partners,” for having pledged to fight any efforts to repeal the Brady Act and the Clinton “assault weapons” ban.  Click Here for the list.

Congressman Tom Cole, 4th District

The Arms Trade Treaty currently under consideration by the United Nations is rightfully the subject of growing concern.  Typical of many U.N. initiatives, the treaty has an unrealistic but vaguely laudable goal.  According to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the “robust and legally binding” treaty “will have a real impact on the lives of those millions of people suffering from consequences of armed conflict, repression and armed violence.”  By establishing international standards on the import, export and transfer of arms, the U.N. aims to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists and other human rights abusers.  ( Click here to read...)

Obama Administration threatens veto over important NRA-backed provision!

In the late Summer of 2005, ORA Executive Director Charles Smith walked into the Capitol office of longtime ORA member and friend State Rep. Kevin Calvey.  “Kevin, we need something like this,” handing him a copy of Florida’s “Castle Doctrine” law.  Rep. Calvey subsequently authored the bill,  adding additional safeguards.  During the next session his bill was introduced and adopted.   Oklahoma now had the best “Castle Doctrine” law in the nation, thanks to Kevin Calvey and the ORA.
