The Idaho Sheriffs Association introduced a new version today of its bill to add crimes to the list of felonies for which gun rights aren’t restored after serving time, after the Senate defeated the association’s first version, SB 1276, on a 29-6 vote on Friday. This time, the list was cut from eight additional crimes to four: Terrorism, human trafficking, hijacking an aircraft, and supplying firearms to a criminal gang.

Left out this time: Arson, theft by extortion, felony rioting and racketeering. “I’ve spoken to the people who voiced the most concern in the Senate debate, and I’ve also spoken to the NRA, who serendipitously were in town yesterday,” Sheriffs Association lobbyist Mike Kane told the Senate Judiciary Committee this afternoon. “So as you can see, we’ve eliminated many of the more controversial crimes.”

On a motion from Sen. Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d’Alene, the committee agreed unanimously to introduce the new version of the bill. After the meeting, Kane said, “Frankly, it was my desire to go, for this late in the session, with what I thought no one would disagree with.”

The current law in Idaho includes 37 crimes that disqualify an ex-con from having gun rights restored after serving a sentence, including murder, rape, kidnapping, aggravated assault, burglary, intimidating a witness, robbery, cannibalism, felony drug trafficking, and more.
