[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2016-04: Amend Gun Rights Resolution

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Alicia, I have a request for information.  It does not affect this, but it
is for my education.  Does a motion to amend something previously adopted
require the same 3/4?  Is there a Robert's reference for that?  Again, it
doesn't matter here since it failed even by a simple majority, but I would
like to know for future reference.
