Recognizing the State's Right to establish and maintain a Constitution separate from, but liable to, the United States Constitution:
The signers of this petition urge our State Congressmen and women to revoke the right of private citizens to own semi-automatic and multi-round firearms.
Firearms (other than single round Sport-Hunting rifles) will be banned to private use.
While it is our Constitutional right to maintain a "well regulated militia for the security of the state" we also have the Constitutional obligation to "ensure domestic tranquillity" and "promote the general welfare" of our country.
The signers of this petition are seeking this State Level amendment in accord with our Federal Constitution's obligations and rights.
