Sent an email to Sen. Dave Lawson last night and received this reply this morning"

Good morning,
 
Thank you for your letter. I am very well aware of the problems Senate Bill 19 poses and I have been working to find a better approach. Last week I drafted an amendment to strike the majority of SB 19, as currently written. I plan to introduce this amendment on the Senate floor today and if my amendment is passed with SB 19, there will no longer be a gun buyback program. Through these changes law enforcement will be able to use the CFRP funds to recover stolen firearms by reimbursing any licensed legitimate business when a gun is recovered from a dealer. I am working with Senator Marshall get stop the destruction of these valuable firearms.
 
Thank you again,
 
Dave Lawson

Also a big THANKS to the Senators the voted SB 19 down.

[Federal Firearm]

I will be sending the senators that voted against the bill a thank you letter and recommendations....My senator (hall) voted for and my letter to her went UN-answered...

[PPScarry]

Peterson voted no and I fell off my chair. I never get a response from these people when writing. They do answer their phone thank God. She listens without a confirming, then you hope she does the right thing.
