Tenth Amendment Center: Permission not Required: “Constitutional Carry” Bill Introduced in South Dakota

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center PIERRE , S.D. (Jan. 11, 2019) – A “Constitutional Carry” bill introduced in the South Dakota House would make it legal to carry a firearm without a license in the state, fostering an environment hostile to federal gun control. Sen. Lance Russell (R-Hot Springs) introduced Senate Bill 38 ( SB38 ) on Jan. 6, with eight cosponsors from both chambers. The bill seeks to repeal numerous sections of state law requiring state residents to have a license in order to carry a concealed weapon, while still allowing county sheriffs to issue permits. Under current state law , residents are required to have a conceal carry license to have a weapon in their vehicle. Former Gov. Dennis Daugaard rejected similar measures in the past, but with the election of Kristi Noem, supporters hope the legislation can be signed into law this time around. Gun shop owner Brandon Maddox told news station KSFY that a concealed carry permit is redundant. “I think that the secon...

Tenth Amendment Center: Hemp Decriminalized in Washington, But Opposition Remains Strong

...from Tenth Amendment Center OLYMPIA , Wash. (May 5, 2017) – A bill recently signed by Washington Gov. Gov.

Passage of HB2064 removed hemp from regulation as a controlled substance, opening the door for a full-scale commercial hemp market in the state by treating it like any other crop for farming. But the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) wants to license and regulate hemp cultivation, and ensure that all hemp growers comply with federal regulation. Another bill passed...

Tenth Amendment Center: Taking Madison out of Context

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center Establishment conservative and liberal constitutional “experts” have been telling us – for years – that James Madison opposed nullification all the time, in every instance. They’re either ignorant, or lying.  Or both. Like they do for all their twisted views, they trot out a quote from Madison, but it’s used entirely out of context. Unfortunately, however, many people in the general public pick up on this, and – maybe they’re just too lazy to read more than a simple quote.  But, the end result is that they will often post that quote in a comment stream in the hopes of saying that Madison – opposed nullification. He didn’t. First of all, here’s the quote:   Simply reading Stephen’s comment – one might be led to believe that Madison did, indeed oppose nullification. However, like the way our opposition excludes the phrase “in pursuance thereof” when talking about the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, many people seem to...
