Thanks to ARFCOM news, I was recently made aware of an petition to the Attorney General of the United States who has been tasked with targeting unconstitutional gun laws and going after the states violating our rights. I encourage you to sign that petition HERE and pass this post along to anyone you know who understands the meaning of the word, "infringe", especially if they live in California, Colorado, Conneticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, or Washington.
In case anyone is unfamiliar with the word, "infringe" it is defined by Merriam-Webster as
: the act of infringing : violation
: an encroachment or trespass on a right or privilege
Original petition text from the Citizen's Committee For the Right to Keep and Bear Arms:
"WHEREAS the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects enshrines the individual right to keep and bear arms, which shall not be infringed, and
WHEREAS the individual right to bear arms is enumerated and protected by individual state constitutions, and
WHEREAS the Second Amendment was incorporated to the states by the U.S. Supreme Court via the 14th Amendment in its landmark 2010 ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago, thus bringing the authority of the federal constitution to bear on the states, and
WHEREAS twelve states, currently identified by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and popularized on social media as the “Dirty Dozen” for their blatant and egregious legislative efforts to restrict the firearm rights protected by state and federal constitutions, and
WHEREAS those states have been alphabetically identified as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Washington, and
WHEREAS the Attorney General has created a “Second Amendment Task Force” within the Department of Justice “to implement Executive Order 14206 and protect the fundamental right secured by the Second Amendment” by “developing and executing strategies to use litigation and policy to advance, protect, and promote compliance with the Second Amendment,” and
WHEREAS the legislative attacks on our Second Amendment rights will continue unabated unless and until they are legally challenged, therefore
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States respectfully urge the Attorney General and the 2A Task Force to launch constitutional investigations in each of the 12 states listed above, to ultimately seek injunctions and/or restraining orders against any and all state laws and local regulations which are determined to infringe and/or impair the exercise of rights protected by the Second Amendment.
Yours Respectfully,
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms"
