Please call your state representative today and request their support for HB 3144
In an effort to discourage corporate discrimination against the firearm industry, Republican Oklahoma state Representative Kevin West has introduced HB 3144, the NSSF®-supported Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act. The bill would require companies to submit written verification that they do not have policies or practices that discriminate against the firearm industry before they are able to enter into large goods or services contracts with state or local government entities. This legislation is modeled after the FIND Act passed by the Texas legislature and signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott in 2021.
Please contact your state representative today and ask that he or she strongly support HB 3144. Mention that the state has an interest in ensuring the lawful firearm industry is not maliciously denied essential services because we are the singular industry necessary for their constituents to exercise a constitutionally-enshrined right.
It is also inappropriate for state and local governments to compel their taxpayers to fund corporate gun control efforts aimed at diminishing the freedoms of those same taxpayers. Companies like Bank of America and PayPal can continue to discriminate against the firearm industry but they should not be able to financially benefit from Oklahoma taxpayers at the same time.
