It’s been a long fight, but I’m pleased to report to WYGO members that the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) has passed the legislature and is on Governor Gordon’s desk!
SAPA requires Wyoming cops to enforce Wyoming laws when it comes to firearms and ammunition. That means a Leftist President can’t order our cops to enforce federal gun control laws!
Thanks to your calls and emails, no harmful amendments were adopted on this bill (SF-196) in either chamber over the last few days, either!
The Senate 3rd read vote was 29-1.
The House 3rd read vote was 53-7.
The question now is whether or not Governor Gordon will sign SAPA into law! That’s why I need you to email him right away!
>>> URGE GOV. GORDON TO SIGN SAPA INTO LAW! <<<
As you may remember, SF-196 fixes four issues that were either created or not addressed when the original version of SAPA was passed in 2022.
First, SF-196 makes it clear that the ONLY gun laws Wyoming cops are to enforce are laws passed by the Wyoming legislature.
Second, SF-196 closes a loophole that allows the feds to use our cops to enforce federal gun laws as long as they pay for it.
Third, SF-196 creates civil penalties that allow agencies that knowingly violate this law to be sued in civil court.
Fourth, SF-196 clarifies that federal monies may be used by Wyoming to aid in the enforcement of Wyoming gun laws only.
If Governor Gordon signs this legislation into law, Wyoming will have the best protections of any state in America the next time a Democrat President tries to order Wyoming cops to enforce federal gun control laws or Executive Orders!

The Governor has three options with this (or any) bill.
He can sign the bill into law.
He can veto (kill) the bill.
Or he can take no action, allowing the bill to pass. This is what the Governor did last week, with HB-172, WYGO-backed legislation to repeal deadly ‘Gun Free Zones.’
At this point, we just don’t know for sure what Governor Gordon is going to do with this bill.
Please send your email and then forward this email to your friends and urge them to take action, too.
We’ve waited a long time for this.
Help us finish this fight!
For Wyoming,

P.S. SAPA has officially passed the legislature and it is on Governor Gordon’s desk!
SAPA would stop the next Democrat President from using Wyoming cops to enforce federal gun control laws by instructing our cops to only enforce Wyoming laws when it comes to firearms and ammo.
But first, Governor Gordon needs to sign this bill into law. Hit the link below and send your pre-written email to the Governor, urging him to do exactly that!
