Ask the House to Oppose the Hidden Gun Control in the “Restoration of Civil Rights” Bill!
 
The Wyoming Legislature is poised to pass hidden gun control in a bill labeled “Restoration of Civil Rights!” SF0120 has already passed the Wyoming Senate and its first hurdle in a House Committee!

The well-meaning bill sponsor, Senator Eric Barlow [R] from Gillette, has stated that the intent of SF0120 is to expand on 2017 voting rights restoration processes and also restore firearms rights to individuals convicted of one-time, nonviolent felonies.

As stated in a recent WyoFile article, Barlow admits, “Wyoming law annuls someone’s right to vote, serve on a jury or hold public office if convicted
