[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2016-03: Gun Rights Resolution

[Daniel Hayes]

Alicia, this seems to have passed 12-3 by my count as I believe the threshold for resolutions is by a three-fourths vote.  Assuming it did and if the amendment fails I would ask the following grammatical correction be made to the text if there is no objection. We should replace the preposition "for" found in the fourth clause in the phrase "restricting access for firearms and ammunition" with "to". It should then read  "restricting access to firearms and ammunition"
This correction would be in addition to the correction already made of "deny" to "denies" in the third clause so that it would read as follows:

WHEREAS, Libertarians affirm that self-defense is an inherent human right;

WHEREAS, the Platform of the Libertarian Party opposes all laws at any level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition;

WHEREAS, the Platform of the Libertarian Party affirms the right of due process and denies the legitimacy of “victimless crimes”;

WHEREAS, the government has steadily encroached upon these rights by illegitimately regulating and restricting access to firearms and ammunition and may further seek to deprive people who have been convicted of no crime of their inherent right to full self-defense by denying their civil and inherent rights to obtain firearms and ammunition;

BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee opposes any policy which would deny access to any firearms or ammunition to any person simply for being placed on any government watch or no-fly list and reaffirms its call to repeal and oppose any existing or proposed firearm and ammunition regulations.
