The sole gun control bill working its way through the Alaska Legislature this year has stalled amid opposition from the National Rifle Association. But a key House lawmaker says he's still trying to draft a compromise that can address the organization's concerns.
Anchorage Democratic Rep. Matt Claman said Tuesday that he's talking with the group's lobbyist, along with members of the House Judiciary Committee that Claman chairs, in an attempt to advance House Bill 75.
The legislation, sponsored by Anchorage Democratic Rep. Geran Tarr, aims to limit access to guns for people deemed dangerous by police officers or judges — before they can commit a crime.

"day of action" = "day of mischief"
And,
"ex parte" orders = unconstitutional nullification of due process
"The NRA supports risk protection orders that respect due process rights and ensure those who are found dangerous receive the the mental health treatment they so dearly need." - NRA
Yes. This.
The cavalier disregard for constitutional commands by the Left are much more than disconcerting, they are alarming, and should be foreclosed out-of-hand.
Alaskans "demanding action" have no right to expect that government can suspend others' constitutional rights simply because they "wish" it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
