Republican State Representative Josh Bray of Mount Vernon sponsors the bill.
He said it's in response to new federal regulation banning pistol braces, a device that allows people to shoot AR 15, an AK 47 style firearms one handed.
Bray said Kentucky should not have to send or spend resources to enforce federal firearms bans.
Opponents of the bill said the state needs more, not fewer restrictions on guns.
Why this is so important is it ensures our fellow Kentuckians that the city police, the sheriffs or the state police aren't going to roll up and enforce this unconstitutional ban.
Why are we wasting time and resources passing unnecessary, unwise, unconstitutional legislation to pledge allegiance to hunks of metal that are being used to kill our children?
The bill passed the House by a vote of 78 to 19, also passing the House today, a bill requiring health insurers to cover biomarker testing.
Both of those bills now move on to the state Senate.
