The Alabama Senate on Thursday passed legislation to prevent state law enforcement from recognizing federally-enacted regulation of firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition.
Sponsored by State Sen. Gerald Allen (R-Tuscaloosa), the “Alabama Second Amendment Preservation Act” notes that “the federal government has no authority to force a state or its officers to participate in implementing or enforcing its acts.”
In a statement applauding the bill’s passage, Allen declared that progressive gun control measures pose “a serious threat” to the citizenry’s Second Amendment rights. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
