I found this at Tenth Amendment Center. I am not sure how old it is, or the current state of the legislation in Missouri politics.
But if any 10 states would step up and do this, it would break the back of FedGov power on 2A. Indeed, if any ten states joined on any serious issue, and told FedGov to eat it, we'd have a flood of sanity return to our republic overnight. How do you make your State level pols more afraid of you than of Washington?

The III is going to establish itself as a recognized political party in Idaho. We've got the paperwork and once we get settled it will take a bit of legwork, but we'll get it done. I think the first piece of legislation we introduce will be nearly identical to that above. We'll go a bit further and attempt to eliminate "Prohibited Persons" who are not currently serving time.
Here's the original piece.

It is supposedly waiting for the next hearing but they are pushing it hard and want to get it through this session. Not sure how much overall backing it is getting though across the board and if a vote will be scheduled at this point.
ReplyDeleteIt has a larger number of co-sponsors than most bills do though if that tells you anything. Over twice as many as the Democrat gun ban bill had.
OH ya another important fact on HB436 this is it's second committee and no opposition has spoken out so far. I think it is a shoe in until it hits the democratic governors desk. It may need to take a second trip though as he will more than likely veto it.
