Louisiana Firearms Industry Protection Bill Approved by Committee, Moves to House Floor
Contact Your State Rep. Today and Urge a “YES” Vote on HB 413

NSSF^® is pleased to report House Bill 413 was approved unanimously by the House Commerce Committee. NSSF Director of Government-Relations-State Affairs, Trevor Santos, testified on behalf of NSSF and its members in support of this important legislation. HB 413 will now move to the floor of the Louisiana House of Representatives and could come up for a vote within the next week. It is imperative for you to contact your state representative today, and respectfully urge him or her to vote “YES” on HB 413 when it comes up for a vote.
 
Sponsored by Louisiana state Rep. Blake Miguez, HB 413 would protect businesses in the firearms industry from blatant discrimination by those in the financial sector by prohibiting financial service providers from refusing service, or discontinuing service, to those in the firearms industry solely because they are involved in the lawful commerce of firearms or ammunition products.  While the firearms industry respects the right of financial institutions and other service providers to make business decisions based on objective criteria, it is unacceptable to discriminate against businesses simply because they are engaged in the lawful commerce of fi rearms, a heavily-regulated activity protected by the Second Amendment
 
Again, please contact your state representative immediately and ask him or her to vote in favor of House Bill 413.
