Resolution 2011-23Here's the Resolutions Committee.
Nullification of Federal Gun Control Act 1968 Resolution
Submitted by Mark Patterson, Chairman District 15, Lucas Baumbach, Chairman District 17
Whereas, the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is the law of the land for firearms and firearm ownership, directly contrary to “gun control” law.
Whereas, the Gun Control Act of 1968 created a burdensome regulating agency, the ATF, the mandate of which, is to control guns, especially by mandating registration of firearms by manufacturers,
Whereas, the NAZI Weapons Laws of 1938 are very similar in scope and aim to the U. S. Gun Control Act of 1968 (Aaron Zelman’s Gun Control: Gateway to Tyranny)
Therefore be it resolved, that the Idaho Republican Party supports the primary and residual effects of the Gun Control Act of 1968 be nullified by the legislature and executive of the State of Idaho.
Be it further resolved, that the Idaho Republican Party agrees the Gun Control Act of 1968 is clearly superseded by both the Idaho Constitution’s prohibition of firearm registration and the Federal Constitution’s declaration of the right to bear arms.
Be it further resolved, that the Idaho Republican Party supports Idaho condemnation of the policies that enabled the murders of millions of Jews, Gypsies, religious and political dissidents by removing their ability to defend themselves.
I guess now, according to the rules, the State Chairman will read it to the body, move for its adoption and preside over debate? There's a lot of education potential here. Be nice to see this pass and other states follow suit.
In the event the Idaho R party actually puts this in their platform and publicizes it as a policy position it will be ignored by Idaho R party elected officeholders.
ReplyDeleteYou know, the Bob Dole "Platforms? We don't read those things'type politicos.
You may be right, Anonymouse, but we won't know if we don't try. I'm a cynic myself, but if it doesn't work as hoped, it will at least tell us who to dump during the next election cycle.
ReplyDeleteIts clear from the Idaho republican web site that this resolution has been passed by the full body and will go the the lawmakers.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be writing to the Idaho republican leaders to get them on board with knowing the "fact" that the Nazi 1938 Gun Laws are in fact taking word for word to make the US Gun Laws of 1968. If Idaho passes this bill and their governor signs it. I see other states following and we can see if the gun lobby like the NRA is on board.
