(Publisher: This resolution was submitted from the floor of the Maricopa County GOP statutory meeting by a LOV3olutionary that hurdled multiple obstacles in order to make the presentation that would eventually result in a vote of over 90% in favor out of over 1500 Precinct Committeemen in attendance)

WHEREAS, Article 2 Section 26 of the Arizona Constitution reads, "The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself or the State shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain, or employ an armed body of men."

THEREFORE, Maricopa County Republicans hereby declare and affirm; 1.

FURTHER, it shall be the duty of the legislature of this State to adopt and enact any and all measures as may be necessary to prevent the enforcement of any federal acts, laws, orders, rules, or regulations in violation of the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

(A loud standing ovation followed the reading)

(There was a 4 minute opportunity to argue against the resolution and 4 minutes in favor.... 3 people argued against it (didn't like the idea that ALL federal acts were unconstitutional) vs.... everyone else.)
