The difficulty is getting them on the ballot. In 2014, the Oklahoma amendment passed both houses in slightly different versions. It was then scuttled in the conference committee between the House and the Senate. [URL='http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2014/11/alabama-amendmnet-3-passes-with-72.html']Alabama passed a similar[/URL] amendment in 2014 with 72% of the vote; [URL='http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2014/08/mo-fundamental-rkba-amendment-passes.html']Missouri had strengthened[/URL] its Constitution just months before with 61%; [URL='http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2012/11/louisiana-oks-gun-rights-amendment.html']Louisiana in 2012 with 74% of the vote[/URL]; and [URL='http://ballotpedia.org/Kansas_Right_to_Bear_Arms_Question,_Constitutional_Amendment_Question_1_%282010%29']Kansas in 2010 with 88%[/URL]. [URL='http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2014/11/states-constitutions-without-explicit.html']Wisconsin voters protected their rights [/URL]with a strong amendment in 1998 with 74% of the vote. Wisconsin had one of the most difficult paths. Constitutional amendments there must pass the legislature twice, with an election in between. Then they are put before the people in a referendum. The legislature has not yet learned that playing these games is no longer a safe way to kill measures politicians publicly support, but secretly conspire to kill. [URL='http://ok2a-action.org/action-news/republicans-try-to-kill-right-to-keep-and-bear-arms-and-laugh-about-it']Perhaps ok2A-action.org[/URL] will determine just who the responsible parties are, and find a way to hold them accountable. This amendment will probably eventually make it to Sooner State voters, but it will depend on grass roots support to make it happen. ©2016 by Dean Weingarten: Permission to share is granted when this notice is included.
