Within the next year, Oklahoma's abortion laws could be radically changed to the point that they will be outlawed by the end of 2022. Texas has already passed some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the Nation. It's basically outlawed and Oklahoma is working towards the same thing.

I guess we'll find out soon enough, this bust was just the beginning!

It's curious.

More firearm legislation is headed to the Oklahoma House for a vote. House Bill (HB-3069) would grant municipalities the authority to allow city employees to carry concealed firearms while at work or on duty.
