“Obviously, part of this is due to our own commitment to the right to keep and bear arms, but it also reflects 3 lawyers’ opinions that these laws are so poorly drafted and so designed to trap otherwise legal citizens into a crime (one of our attorneys referred to them as “flypaper laws”) that it is simply too dangerous for us to film here.”

For a long time now I’ve wondered if it is possible to initiate legislation via citizen petition that would limit the number of laws the state can have on the books. At some point, there are just so many that it would be impossible to NOT be in violation of something at some point in time. If we can place such a limit on our legislators, they would have to repeal something before initiating something new. There’s got to be a way...

My thought has been that no law should be longer than one side of a 8x11 paper with 1” margins and 12 Times Roman.
