Kentucky Takes Steps to Proactively Protect Gun Rights
Kimberly Paxton
In an America that seems intent on passing laws to limit 2nd Amendment rights, several states are taking steps to proactively protect those rights. The state of Kentucky is asking voters to approve an amendment to the state constitution that would protect their right to hunt and fish.
The amendment is supported by the National Rifle Association, who fears that “anti-hunting extremists” might one day lobby the Kentucky legislature to outlaw or restrict hunting and fishing. They are pushing similar amendments to the state constitutions of Idaho, Nebraska and Wyomingon the 2012 ballots.13 states have already added these amendments: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In 7 states, the amendments were considered, but defeated: Hawaii, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Pennsylvania. Mississippi will be reconsidering the amendment on 2014 ballots. No one is currently threatening the right to hunt or fish, but the NRA wants legislatures to guarantee these rights before the threat occurs. NRA spokeswoman Stephanie Samford stated, ”The NRA doesn’t wait for problems to arise to address them. We’re constantly being proactive on our Second Amendment rights.” Legislators who sponsored the amendment also believe that the right to hunt and fish could be threatened. State Representative Leslie Combs, a Democrat, commented, ”There’s always a concern that someone could work to take away your right to hunt using firearms The National Conference of State Legislatures website discusses both sides of the argument regarding constitutional protection:

v.8
now how is the goverment going to protect you people if you wont give up your guns…now come on,there giving you welfare and food stamps and even allow you to fake a disability so you can suck up other peoples social security(s.s.i.)just tell them your depressed or your back hurts its easy)so just give up your guns and let the federal goverment have total control,quit getting in the way
The Bill of Rights states in the 2nd Amendment “The Right of the People…….” in this legislation it says “The citizens of…..” These are 2 different concepts under legal standards. I would be wary of adopting this language just because it sounds appropriate for what we think we want.
Very very good point Paul, and with “their” law, its all about wording and context. Also, just so all is clear, the second amendment doesn’t “provide” a “right”, it is only supposed to protect the already “natural” right that we as individuals have from birth. In the end the government will do as they please, so it is up to the individual to protect this right themselves, as with any other “rights”.
this would not be necessary if the so-called tough guys, the marines, the special forces, the green beret etc., would, instead of working for the Rockefellers and the Rothchilds, would work for the American people for a change,the people that actually pay them through communistic redistribution of wealth, but alas, they are just boot licking, order taking slaves.
Now what does Hunting and Fishing have to do with gun laws? And why is the NRA wasting their time with that?
The NRA need to pick themselves up by the boot-straps and get with the program… Protect OUR right to OWN, CARRY, and USE our firearms in the proper contexts.
