South Carolina passes SOVEREIGNTY RESOLUTION
The Fed. government has no authority to mess with the 2nd Amendment or any other Amendment.
The sooner people wake up to all of this, the better off our Country will be.
Jim Strode
Here in Washington's own manuscript, we see these three reasons for the militia: to repel (1) rebellion, (2) invasion, and (3) tyranny. This adds to the proof that the purpose of the militia of the Second Amendment is for the people to guard against tyranny in government. Without a shadow of a doubt, the Second Amendment came into existence so that the people could protect themselves against despotic acts and tyranny brought on by public officials!"
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." John F. Kennedy

THE COMMITTEE ON INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3509)
to affirm the rights of all states including South Carolina based on the
provisions of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, etc., respectfully
REPORT:
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that
the same do pass:
LISTON D. BARFIELD for Committee.
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO AFFIRM THE RIGHTS OF ALL STATES INCLUDING SOUTH CAROLINA BASED ON THE
PROVISIONS OF THE NINTH AND TENTH AMENDMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION.
Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly declares that the people of
this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as
a free, sovereign, and independent State, and shall exercise and enjoy
every power, jurisdiction, and right pertaining thereto, which is not
expressly delegated by them to the United States of America in the
congress assembled; and
Whereas, some states when ratifying the Constitution for the United
States of America recommended as a change, "that it be explicitly
declared that all powers not expressly and particularly delegated by the
aforesaid are reserved to the several states to be by them exercised";
and
Whereas, these recommended changes were incorporated as the Ninth
Amendment, where the enumeration of certain rights shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and as the
Tenth Amendment, where the powers not delegated to the United States by
the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to the people; and
Whereas, the several states of the United States of America, through the
Constitution and the amendments thereto, constituted a general
government for special purposes and delegated to that government certain
definite powers, reserving each state to itself, the residuary right to
their own self government. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of South Carolina, based on the above
principles and provisions, hereby declares by this resolution, that any
act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the
President of the United States, or Judicial Order by the federal courts
which assumes a power not delegated to the government of the United
States of America by the Constitution and which serves to diminish the
liberty of any of the several states or their citizens shall abridge the
Constitution. The General Assembly further declares that acts which
would cause such an abridgment include, but are not limited to:
(1) establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of
the states comprising the United States of America without the consent
of the legislature of that state;
(2) requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other
than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative
to, incarceration after due process of law;
(3) requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of
persons under the age of eighteen other than pursuant to, or as an
alternative to, incarceration after due process of law;
(4) surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any
corporation or foreign government;
(5) any act regarding religion, further limitations on freedom of
political speech, or further limitations on freedom of the press; and
(6) further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms
including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives,
and each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation.
