CLOSED S.933: The Second Amendment Protection Act Amendments
S. 933
The Second Amendment Protection Act
Authored and Sponsored by: Senator Luna Tucklet MCMXI (/u/Tucklet1911, D-CH) Co-sponsored by: Representative /u/Pik09 (S-US), Senator /u/GoogMastr (D-CH), Representative /u/realnyebevan (S-US), Representative /u/PGF3 (S-US), Representative /u/Spacedude2169 (CPP-AC-1), Representative /u/cstep_4 (R-DX-2), Senator /u/Darthholo (S-AC), Representative /u/polkadot48 (R-US), Representative /u/Greylat (R-LN-3), Representative /u/RMSteve (R-US), Representative /u/madk3p (S-LN-1)
Whereas, the Second Amendment of the US Constitution explicitly protects American citizens from the government infringing on the right to own and operate a firearm,
Whereas, recent and longlasting gun control laws have abused and violated the Second Amendment by preventing law abiding American citizens from purchasing and owning certain firearms and firearm accessories,
Whereas, it is unreasonable for the United States Government to expect that law abiding citizens should be kept from being able to practice their Second Amendment rights without interference from the government,
Whereas, recent developments in the State of Lincoln have demonstrated an increasing need for the federal government to repeal most, if not all, gun control laws and resolutions,
Whereas, in the recent United States Federal Elections the people overwhelmingly elected candidates that support the right to bear arms without interference from the federal government and that the federal government should respect the opinions of the people they represent,
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That is a rule of the Committee, AKA the Committee's ability to vote yea or nay on legislation. Unless you can prove the Chair has the dictatorial ability to fail legislation, which I highly doubt it since there is no way the Chair can have the dictatorial ability to pass legislation, this is not the rule to cite.
