The Second Amendment revision on the November 6 ballot would change the phrasing for the statute permitting citizens the right to carry and possess arms. The number one change would require “strict scrutiny” before enacting any law to limit the right to bear arms.
Sen. Neil Riser (R-District 32), who authored the bill, says that the new phrasing would hold laws to a higher standard, protecting the right of each citizen first and requiring a, “compelling government interest, being narrowly defined to achieve that intent.” |

TO REMEMBER |
Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. — St. George Tucker, in his edition of 'Blackstone's Commentaries,' 1:300 (1803). |
