Senator John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today joined Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in introducing the “Respect for the Second Amendment Act” to protect an individual’s right to keep and bear arms.
The Respect for the Second Amendment Act would:
1. Create public and private rights of action against any person who seeks to enforce a law, rule or ordinance that violates the constitutional right of an individual to manufacture for personal use, acquire, possess, own, carry, transport or use a privately owned firearm or privately owned ammunition unless that law is consistent with the U.S. Constitution and history of firearm regulation.
2. Prohibit states from rejecting firearms licenses on the sole basis of the license originating under another state’s jurisdiction.
3. Eliminate 18 U.S. Code § 927 so that, on a case-by-case basis, Congress can override state law when it proves an unconstitutional attempt to override the Second Amendment.
I am going to be hopeful about this. Even if it does not pass it shows me folk are getting tired of legislators passing laws they KNOW are unconstitutional just to give themselves a case of the warm fuzzies and they know there is no cost or consequences to themselves for doing it. When somebody tells me there's not a snowball's chance of this passing I'm going to stick my fingers in my ears and just go NANANANANANA.
