Mississippi Passes Legislation Protecting Gun Owners During Martial Law Infowars February 11, 2009
Mississippi lawmakers have passed a bill to protect the state’s residents during martial law. On the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi website, Phil Bryant announces the passage of SB 2036. The legislation “restricts the power of a peace officer to confiscate firearms and ammunitions in an emergency or during a time of martial law,” according to the website. It is significant that Lieutenant Governor Bryant mentions the law applies to martial law. Mississippi senator Merle Flowers authored the bill and referred it to the Judiciary on January 6. It passed the Senate on February 4. According to the Mississippi bill status website, the act amends Section 33-7-303 of Mississippi Code of 1972 and “explicitly restrict the power to confiscate firearms and ammunitions in an emergency.” Mississippi passes the law reaffirming the Second Amendment at approximately the same time a number of states are introducing and passing resolutions and bills declaring sovereignty from the federal government and buttressing the Tenth Amendment. http://waronyou.com/topics/mississippi-passes-legislation-protecting-gun-owners-during-martial-law/ http://www.infowars.com/mississippi-passes-legislation-protecting-gun-owners-during-martial-law/
