Earlier this month, Courtney Willie tried to break up with 22-year-old Dekota Harvey. "I didn't want the abuse," Willie said. "The mental instability of him. And I didn't want him continuing the abuse of my friends as well." Harvey shot Willie in the leg and shot and killed Willie's new girlfriend, 20-year-old Elizabeth "Alexis" Dawson. Willie said she wasn't surprised by Harvey's actions because he'd had suicidal thoughts and access to guns. The new bill would aim to prevent these incidents.

"They're laws that when done properly, balance a gun owners rights with the need to protect people and the public," said bill sponsor, Democratic senator of District 4, Greg Leding.
"We know of no other enumerated constitutional right whose core protection has been subjected to a freestanding 'interest-balancing' approach. The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government ... the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon. . . The Second Amendment is no different. Like the First, it is the very product of an interest-balancing by the people[.]" - D.C. v. Heller (2008)
Probable cause can only issue based upon a CRIME having been committed. These laws obviate that principle. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
