Continental Congress 2009
ReplyDelete2nd Amendment Instruction to the Congress of the United States:
Whereas the second amendment states that; In order to provide for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed and whereas the multitude of federal statutes constitute de facto infringement;
We the delegates of Continental Congress 2009 instruct the Congress of the United States as follows,
1. That the Congress of the United States shall repeal all federal statutes regulating the ownership, use and transfer of firearms and ammunition.
2. That the Congress of the United States shall repeal any federal statutes which provide for the taxation or registration of firearms and ammunition.
3. That the Congress of the United States shall abolish the Department of Homeland Security and thereby return the responsibility for domestic security to the militias of the several states. The term militia, inherently separate from the State National Guard, means constitutional defense force comprising all loyal citizenry capable of bearing arms, well trained and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and the several states.
4. That the Congress shall make statutes providing for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia and for governing such part of them as may be called to serve the United States and, reserve to the states all other powers relating to the militia.
5. That the Congress of the United States shall not continue to infringe upon, but to instead encourage and support the duty of the people to revitalize the “well regulated Militia of the several states”.
Continental Congress 2009
ReplyDeleteSecond Amendment Instruction to the Several States
We the delegates of Continental Congress 2009 instruct the Legislature of the State of {...here supply the name of the particular State...}:
I The Legislature of the State of {...here supply the name of the particular State...} shall repeal all state statutes regulating the ownership, use and transfer of firearms and ammunition.
II The Legislature of the State of {...here supply the name of the particular State...} shall repeal any state statutes which provide for the registration of firearms and ammunition.
III. REASSERTION OF THE POWER OF THE SWORD
(a)That the Legislature of the State of {...here supply the name of the particular State...}, in the exercise of its powers over the Militia* of such State reserved thereto by the Second and Tenth Amendments as well as other provisions of the Constitution of the United States, shall by statute establish an Advisory Commission On Revitalization of the Militia of {...here supply the name of the particular State...}.
(b) That the sole purpose of the said Advisory Commission shall be to study and recommend:
(i) the means, including all necessary State legislation (and where appropriate legislation that authorizes direct and independent action by units of Local government), by which the State can revitalize her Militia so as to provide for her particular requirements of “homeland security” in keeping with strict constitutional principles; and
(ii) such legislation as may be necessary and proper for Congress to enact in order fully to effectuate the State’s program of revitalizing her Militia, in the context of a national program for revitalizing all of the Militia of the several States to some uniform standard of organization, arms, and discipline.
(c) That the Advisory Commission shall be composed of the following persons: {...here list the proposed members of the Commission...}.
ReplyDelete(d) That the Advisory Commission shall submit a preliminary report to the Legislature within ninety (90) days of the enactment of the said statute. This report shall contain inter alia a detailed study, with specific recommendations, as to how the Militia of {...here supply the name of the particular State...} can and should be revitalized, with particular emphasis on those areas of “homeland security” which at that time are within the jurisdiction of the General Government’s Department of Homeland but the responsibility and authority for the provision of which the Advisory Commission believes can effectively be exercised within the State of {...here supply the name of the particular State...} by the Militia thereof. Within thirty (30) days of its receipt of that report, the Legislature shall return the report to the Commission with such directives as it may see fit for alterations, corrections, amendments, additions, deletions, and further studies and recommendations. On the basis of the Legislature’s review, within thirty (30) days thereafter the Advisory Commission shall submit to the Legislature a final report, including complete and specific drafts of all State legislation, and recommendations for any Congressional legislation, necessary for revitalization of the Militia of the State of {...here supply the name of the particular State...}.
(e) That, upon receipt of the Advisory Commission’s final report, the Legislature shall without delay, and in any event no more than thirty (30) days later, adopt such report with such amendments as the Legislature shall deem proper, and then enact such legislation based on such amended report as will most effectively and expeditiously revitalize the Militia of {...here supply the name of the particular State...}. Furthermore, the Legislature by Resolution shall urge the Congressional delegation of said State to introduce and support legislation in Congress that adopts the recommendations presented in the Advisory Commission’s final report as amended.
* The term militia, inherently separate from the State National Guard, means constitutional defense force comprising all loyal citizenry capable of bearing arms, well trained and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and the states.
