Today we are hearing a lot of “it’s not the guns, it’s mental health” or “what about just addressing safety?”
I report on the KY state legislature. Numerous mental health and firearm safety bills are proposed each year but never considered. What follows is a partial list of bills that were filed during Kentucky’s 2025 regular session.
NONE of these bills ever received a hearing.
House Bill 330 — Prohibit firearm possession by convicted domestic abusers.
House Bill 409 — Require a 5 day waiting period.
Senate Bill 235 — A re-filing of 2024 Senate Bill 13 (CARR) to temporarily remove firearms from a person in mental health crisis. Neither bill received a hearing.
House Bill 55 — Hold adults civilly liable for minors accessing their guns.
House Bill 93 — A person shall not target shoot carelessly, recklessly, or without regard for the safety of any person.
House Bill 20 — Prohibit unlawful storage of a firearm; establish elements of the crime as recklessly allowing access to an unsecured firearm by a minor.
House Bill 124 — Require background checks for private firearms sales; require reporting to law enforcement of firearm and ammunition thefts and losses; require the safe storage of firearms and more.
House Bill 214 — Tax credit for taking firearm training.
Senate Bill 92 —Require destruction if the firearm was used in the commission of a violent offense.
Every person against gun control wears the blood of the victims on their hands forever. Selfish hypocrites all. They value their 'Right' to death machines more than the rights of others to live.
Perfectly summarized. Thank you for writing this.
Thank you, Lindsay. Please share it
