For Senate Bill 1685 a bill that would have allowed persons seeking to get guns and ammo in Oklahoma would be able to obtain them without a federal criminal background check being conducted.

Henry vetoed the legislation on Tuesday, saying the bill would make it easier for criminals to obtain weapons in Oklahoma and endanger citizens and law enforcement officers.

Excerpt of Original Story

A Connecticut state bill would allow state jobs to omit the “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?” question on state job applications but not for the private sector.

If passed into law, Connecticut would join Minnesota, Kansas and New Mexico in restricting state background checks. In Minnesota, private businesses are also restricted until a job offer has been made in asking the question.
