Thanks Tony for letting us know. Maybe we all need to contact our congressmen and let them know what we expect.

I hope a couple of the lawyers on our forum check these out and report a yea or nay on whether we should support it.

[Popeye]

The whole idea strikes me as silly. Also sorry that it should even be considered.

Tough call. Another states rights issue where we are enticed by a result we like.

[OFallon]

This bill merely addresses the suspension of rights and freedoms which lawfully accompany a declaration of "State of Emergency" and/or "Martial Law." Under those provisions, we, in reality, give up a great many rights. This bill suggests the 2nd Amendment is not one of them. It is, IMO, a good thing.:up:

[Saunders]

Who said the 2nd applies to the states?

[OFallon]

These rights have become applicable to states through the 14th Amendment as well as state constitutions, via their ratification as part and parcel to the Constitution. ;)

[Saunders]

Never been so held for the Second. No emanations from the penumbra.

I shall wait for an activist judge to limit states rights again on this issue.

I guess I should become a Democrat.
