Jury Nullification may be the final peaceful barrier between law-abiding gun owners and a tyrannical government dependent upon disarming honorable citizens.The Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA) has prepared a brochure helping us to defend our right to keep and bear arms in the courtroom. If you're not familiar with this group and the historical basis for their arguments, or even if you are, go to their website for in depth information, updates on current efforts, and more.
For jury nullification to protect gun ownership rights, and all constitutional rights of gun owners, it is necessary for jurors to learn about their authority to judge the law and its application.
Per Iloilo Marguerite Jones, Executive Director:
Larry Pratt distributed these brochures to his membership when they first came out, and Liberty Belles, many other gun groups and a few Constitutional groups have distributed them as well. We are happy to send this brochure, which is included in our information packet, to anyone who requests information. Call to our 1-800-TEL-JURY information line to request an information packet, which will be mailed to anyone who calls.Go here to download the brochure (Adobe Reader required). Or, you can go to their website and order various quantities, as well as other informative FIJA materials.
I just realized I hadn't added them to my blogroll, so that oversight has been corrected. I invite fellow gunbloggers to add them to their links as well.
And I'm sure any and all support will be welcomed.
...provided the judge allows the jury to think and isn't afraid it will over-tax their minds to know anything about the law before they imprison people. Ask Mr Fincher...
ReplyDeleteIt's up to us as responsible free citizens to know this stuff, anon. If someone needs to be told this information in the courthouse, they have been asleep at the switch instead of guarding their own freedoms,
ReplyDeleteAnd it's also up to us to educate those who have not yet learned of this.
And then it's up to us to keep our mouths shut when called for jury duty and just say we have not been convinced beyond a reasonable doubt.
