Now we just need a Cali state const. Amendment that says the same.
I doubt the vote in Cali would be any where near that though.

Sure it would. Just in the opposite direction.

As a nation ..Don't we already have something like that

I think it's called ' The Second Amendment '

[Nodda Duma]

Yes but as we've learned, it's better to have it declared at all levels of government.

I lived in Kansas in 2005-2007 right before moving to CA. It was a patchwork of restrictive local gun ordinances and no CCW, ruled from the liberal enclave of Topeka, by her Majesty Kathleen Sibelius. How far they've come since then and what great news this is.

Kansas already had a 2A and they just "double downed" on it. This can be cited as to how americans feel about the "outdated" little right in the constitution. Let's hope some other states follow their lead.

This is more important than most state RKBA changes. This specifically overturns Salina v. Blaksley which was the very first State Supreme Court decision that adopted the so called "collective rights" or "states rights" approach to interpreting state and federal right to bear arms provisions.

This is great. It's significant because of the overwhelming majority approval it got. It's significant because it gives a modern, unambiguous word choice which (hopefully) will have less room for tortured and weaselly interpretations. And as Gene says, this amendment is the people of Kansas telling their court, "no, you idiots, your interpretation was wrong, so we're passing this again in language simple enough that judges can understand it."

That seems to mean that various types of military weapons have some state-level protection in Kansas now. I have a feeling that we're in for a round of attempts to weaken Wickard, what with all the challenges to Obamacare and the Firearms Freedoms Acts being passed. I note that some states have also passed state const. amends. that guarantee healthcare choice, which is also setting up some challenges. Whether these will make any progress remains to be seen.

I'm sure any vote regarding the 2nd in this state would go the other way as to establish no 2nd right exists regardless of what the supreems say.

Kansas CCW?

Willl this allow Kansans to carry concealed without a specific permit?

Citizens: "Stop infringing on the RKBA! Or we shall say STOP, again!"
Courts: "Suck a muffler."
Citizens: "You first."

It really actually doesn't work that way. If you have a constitutional super majority in a state like Kansas and the Kansas Supreme Court continues to be intransigent, you can disband them and start over. A smaller version of that happened in Iowa over a gay marriage case. I think it was wrong on the policy, but it wasn't wrong as a conceivable constitutional structure for the judges to have been voted out there.

Thought so.
