Dear South Dakota Gun Rights Supporter,

If you don't act right away, misguided state legislators are going
to pass legislation that imposes an unconstitutional misdemeanor gun
ban on South Dakota residents.

Please act immediately by calling, faxing, e-mailing and writing to
your State Representative.

South Dakota usually doesn't see many anti-gun bills in the
legislature, so two bills to reduce freedom offered in just a few
weeks means your anti-gun enemies are on the move.

Senate Bill 85 has passed the Senate and is now in the House State
Affairs Committee. This bill adds federal-style Lautenberg Gun Ban
language as a reason to deny concealed carry permits in South
Dakota. This bill is being pushed by much the same crowd that
unsuccessfully tried to create a statewide database of concealed
carry permit holders, including Gene Abdallah of Sioux Falls and
Thomas Hennies of Rapid City. Remember those names, as we are bound
to see more of their anti-gun antics.

GOA opposed Lautenberg in Congress, and certainly doesn't think
states should follow suit by denying law-abiding citizens the right
to self-defense simply because they plead guilty to misdemeanor
"domestic abuse" charges.

As we all know, domestic abuse charges are not always real. Many
cities and states require someone to be arrested in the case of any
domestic squabble, regardless of the level of the problem.
Frequently, police will arrest both husband and wife and let the
courts sort it out later. A spouse is then forced to plead guilty
to "domestic abuse" charges in order to save time and money, not
knowing the impact on her right to keep and bear arms.

Only later will she find out that the federal government now bars
her from owning a firearm, or, if this bills passes, that South
Dakota won't let her get a concealed carry permit to defend herself
from an abusive husband.

Even worse, the Lautenberg-style disqualification is retroactive, so
a 20-year old bogus charge makes you a second-class citizen.

If you wish to read more about the Lautenberg-style gun ban, see
http://www.gunowners.org/kldvtb.htm on the GOA website.

What kind of events lead to domestic abuse charges? Some are
certainly real cases of physical abuse, but many people are
convicted for such things as spanking a child, having an argument
with a spouse, verbal abuse, and the list goes on. With social
service agencies turning every bump and scrape of a toddler into a
potential child abuse case, American citizens are under assault by
the very government they fund.

This bill may not fit within the South Dakota Constitution, since it
retroactively applies the Domestic Confiscation Gun Ban. Whether it
is unconstitutional or not, this is very bad legislation that needs
to be defeated immediately.

What you can do:

Call these members of the House State Affairs Committee at
605-773-3851 and urge them to vote against Senate Bill 85. Tell
them you don't want anti-gun federal language inserted in South
Dakota law. You can also call them at home this weekend with the
numbers following their names (Saturday evening is the best time).

----- Pre-written message -----

Dear Rep. _______________

I oppose Senate Bill 85 because it adds unconstitutional anti-gun
language into South Dakota Law. I opposed the Lautenberg Gun Ban
when it was offered in Congress, and want no part of it in my state.

I urge you to vote against SB85, and to do everything possible to
make sure this bill is defeated.

Sincerely,

This country is really going to the dogs if they
do this to my hometown of Sioux Falls,and to the
state of SoDak..
I personally don't think this will ever fly
in South Dakota, In my current state of
Hellifornia maybe...too many tree hugging,granola
munching liberals here....
 
Hey dakotakid, You from Sioux Falls? Thats Where I Am! I also highly doubt that it will ever get by here, at the moment we have some of the most loose gun laws in the USA, next to Vermont
 
i will be calling and e-mailing on this one. i can't believe someone would have the balls to pull this in SD.

powderific: finally someone else from SD!!! here i thought i was the only one! i'm in Brookings. let me know if you'd maybe like to get together sometime. i have a bud in SF that wants to buy his first firearm and i'd like to get him shooting. i usually shoot at Beacon Hill out by Volga but it's all snowed in. found out the hard way on Monday when i tried to get out and shoot my new SAR-2.
 
For you S.D. people (and others in other states), who can't understand how these laws can be proposed and passed in "your" state, you should understand this: the Marxist Socialists (communistnazis) have been brainwashing the people throughout the United States, for 90 years.

They are mainly Democrats, but there are a lot of so called "moderate" Republicans, whose ideology springs directly from Marxist Leninist thought and goals. They have invaded every state in the Union. They control the media, (including Hollywood), most of the main stream religions, and most of academics, from the doctorate level down to pre-kindergarten.

They have one goal and one goal only: the destruction of our Constitution and the institution of their Great Brave New Marxist Socialist Police State Utopia. Step by step by step by step. Incrementalism will win out for them.

So, don't wonder "how this could happen?" Know what the ideology is of the communistnazis who intend to destroy you, step by step. Of course, they couch their Marxist platitudes in statements of "We just want to save the children," or, "We just want to save America and make the streets safe for everyone."

To these communistnazis, the individual Right to self defense, does not exist, simply because, to them, an individual has to Rights, anyway. Only the State, and Big Brother and Big Nanny, have Rights. We serfs and slaves are merely property of the State.

So, that's why you're having the same problems in your "conservative" states that they're having in Kalif., and New York, and Maryland and New Jersey, ad nauseum.

Know whom you're fighting and their ideology, and confront them. This is a fight unto death. The Marxist Socialists (liberals; Democrats, some RINOs,) NEVER, EVER, disengage!

FWIW. J.B.

EDIT: By the way, isn't Little Tommi Daschel, a U.S. Senator from So. Dakota?? His politics is communistnazi ideology, right down to the ground. Obviously, the people of S.D. like his Marxist Socialist ideas as they've sent him to the Senate for years.
 
Don Gwinn,

How about applying Double Jeopardy also??

They would be suffering additional loses for something they were already found guilty of previously...
