When it comes to constraining government, parchment barriers simply aren’t enough. There’s nothing magic about them, either positively or negatively. Constitutional maxims take rigorous enforcement from a tireless citizenry. In the end, all republican societies will eventually cease to exist when people become indifferent to the precepts of liberty and where no civic virtue remains. This is a natural phenomenon – one that can be observed in all corners of the world, in countries that both do and do not possesses written constitutions. -Dave Benner #constitution #founders #libertarian #10thAmendment #truth https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2017/04/24/parchment-barriers-not-enough-to-stop-tyranny/

In the culmination of eight years of work, today, the Missouri House gave final approval to a bill that would end state and local enforcement of a wide range of federal gun control measures; past, present and future. Enactment of this bill into law would represent a major step toward ending federal acts that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms within the state. Rep. Jered Taylor filed House Bill 85 (HB85) on Dec 1. Titled the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” (SAPA) the legislation would ban any entity or person, including any public officer or employee of the state and its political subdivisions, from enforcing any past, present or future federal “acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, regulations, statutes, or ordinances” that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. The companion bills were sponsored and carried by Rep. Bishop Davidson and Sen. Eric Burlison. “One fundamental feature of our government is the separation of powers,” said Davidson on the House floor today. “I hope that this bill is just one step towards restoring that balance.” “We are doing this bill because the 2nd Amendment is under attack,” said Taylor. “This bill is gun policy is agnostic. We are saying in our state, we know what’s best for our state.” HB85 passed the House in February by a 103-43 vote. After being stalled for weeks and clearing a big hurdle to get a committee hearing and vote, and a long filibuster attempt by Democrats Thursday night, the Senate approved the measure by a 24-10 vote with some amendments. In one of its final acts of the 2021 session, the House gave final approval today by a 111-42 vote. HB85 will now go to Gov. Mike Parson’s desk for his consideration. #2ndAmendment #10thAmendment #nullify #libertarian #constitution  https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2021/05/to-the-governor-missouri-passes-2nd-amendment-preservation-act/
