Claiming the Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act Bill, SB1685, would make it too easy for criminals to get guns, Governor Brad Henry has vetoed the bill. State Sen. Randy Brogdon calls the governor’s assertion “absurd”.
“The governor claimed this bill would have given criminals ‘easy access’ to guns. That argument is absurd,” Brogdon said. “Oklahoma law addresses this issue—convicted felons cannot own guns in our state. The Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act would not have changed that state law.”
A veto override is planned.
