A chronological history of GrassRoots activities concerning H. 3065

H. 3065: This bill changes existing law which makes it a felony to discharge a firearm at or into a dwelling, vehicle, aircraft, watercraft or school for any reason whatsoever. It changes the existing law by deleting the word “unlawfully” when describing what type of firearms discharges are subject to being punished as a felony. This means even discharging a firearm in self defense or defense of others would be a felony if the round went at or into a dwelling, vehicle, aircraft, watercraft or school.
Principles Involved: The right to self defense should never be a crime. There is no reason to alter existing law to remove the word “unlawfully” from existing law unless your goal is to turn good people into criminals.
GrassRoots Position: GrassRoots opposes this bill.
Current Status: In House Judiciary committee.
Primary Sponsor: Kirsh.
