Thank you to Governor Joe Lombardo, who is proving his pro-Second Amendment and Republican credentials for vetoing these terrible, partisan, anti-gun bills.

• SB 89 makes hate crime convicts prohibited persons
  
• SB 156 Office of Gun Violence Prevention
• AB 105 polling place gun ban
• AB 245 semi-auto ban for <21 year olds
  

It's clear that Gov. Lombardo can be counted on to hold the line against the progressive anti-gun agenda.

Governor,

AB 245 bans adults 18-20 from owning, possessing, or even target shooting semi-automatic rifles and shotguns. Next will be ammo and further gun bans. It's a slippery slope and Democrats love taking bites out of our rights.
You’re up for re-election next year. Let’s not overthink this.

Vetoing this bill wins you points with pro-gun voters, Libertarians, and rural conservatives—the core of your base. These are the people who show up, who vote, and who will remember whether you stood your ground or folded. Sure, Democrats will rage, but they’re not voting for you anyway. Nothing you do here is going to win them over.
Letting it pass? That’s political suicide. You might get a nod from some Democrats, but they’re locked in for their own candidates. Meanwhile, you alienate Republicans and swing voters you actually need. That’s how elections are lost.
This isn’t a tough call. There’s no gain in signing it, and a lot to lose. Do the smart thing. Veto it AB 245.
