I'm sure Don Kilmer is with you. Is Geoff Metcalf still working on it?

Way back in the Clinton Regime my spouse and I worked some gun shows with the SVNRAMC getting names on petitions. One huge, gruff guy in line to get in told me we didn't need to amend the CA constitution because the USA Constitution covered it and that should be enough. I agreed with him but added that people kept using "a well constituted militia..." to cloud the issue even though the militia is all of us and that a CA amendment would remove that liberal loophole (phony though it was) once and for all. He didn't say a word, but he got out of line and went right over to the tables with the petitions. Thereafter I started with, "Even though the US Constitution ..."

Of course, if the Supremes uphold the right as an individual right as we expect they will, everyone should be covered. As long as a treaty with the UN is not sneaked through that would supersede the Constitution.

We moved out of CA right about the time the SVNRAMC turned into something else and I never really knew what happened. I know the group is still active and a wonderful group of people and I wish you all the best from Arizona.

The effort is in hibernation right now. But my tag line offers an opportunity for people to sign-up so that the effort can re-start quickly.

One key need is to institute a fund-raising mechanism in readiness for the next attempt.
