Maybe th ok rifle association should advocate for Australia style gun control. That seems to have worked.

Pretty much seems like a text book snatching defeat from the jaws of victory scenario.

“Oklahoma governor vetoes gun carry bill in defeat for the citizens of Oklahoma”
FIFY.
And apparently that FUDD rifle club “supports the Second Amendment, but........”. I wish all those FUDDS would die off already. If your favorite, go to long gun has walnut furniture (unless it’s an AK), your opinions on firearms ownership no longer matter. We’re not listening. You’re ONLY audience are the gun grabbing, would-be-confiscating leftists.

Oklahoma governor angers gun and gay rights groups same day

Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Mary Fallin vetoed a bill that would have allowed adults to carry handguns without a permit and signed another that permits religious organizations to exclude same sex couples from adoptions, managing to anger both gun and gay rights groups on the same day.

That's really nothing more than the symmetrical stance of the myopic 'nobody needs a 30 round magazine' sentiment;
both extremes which if allowed to divide us, will conquer us.
