Joe Biden and the entire socialist machine in D.C. is doing everything they can to destroy my right to keep and bear arms while their party controls Congress. And while gun owners have held the line against Biden legislative agenda -- so far -- his Executive Orders attacking my gun rights are right around the corner. That’s why I want you to co-sponsor and vote for Rep. Keith Kidwell’s Second Amendment Preservation Act which would order North Carolina cops to enforce North Carolina laws when it comes to firearms, ammunition, and accessories -- ignoring federal gun control laws entirely. No one is saying that the federal government can’t enforce their laws here in North Carolina. But the reality is that the feds almost always reply on state and local resources to enforce their laws and regulations. By denying them this assistance -- like the left did when President Trump wanted to deport violent illegal aliens -- Biden’s war on gun owners will go largely unenforced. The Supreme Court has ruled for hundreds of years that the states can not be ‘commandeered’ or compelled into enforcing federal laws and regulations that they disagreed with. And of course the State of North Carolina has that power; if not, we may as well dissolve the legislature entirely. That’s why, when Missouri passed this landmark legislation in 2021, it survived a court challenge by the Department of Justice. The other benefit to the SAPA legislation being pushed by the North Carolina Firearms Coalition and Rep. Kidwell is the protection it provides for pro-gun cops who are trying to honor their oath of office and uphold the Second Amendment. So rather than be put in a spot where they have to break their oath or lose their job when told to enforce Biden’s gun control, an officer could simply point to SAPA as his defense. And should a liberal, politically appointed department head try to violate SAPA law, this legislation allows individual gun owners to sue those agencies (not the individual officer) in civil court. This is also part of the law in Missouri and without it, SAPA is nothing but a political gimmick. While dozens of states have passed Constitutional Carry over the last few years and while dozens of states are also following Missouri’s lead and advancing SAPA law this year, North Carolina politicians are still talking about expanding ‘Red Flag’ laws even further! I want to make sure you know that with an election on the horizon, I expect to see quick action on bills like the Second Amendment Preservation Act. So please co-sponsor, vote for, and publicly champion this legislation with your caucus. The North Carolina Firearms Coalition will keep me informed about this legislation.

Please support Keith Kidwell’s HB189! This bill is desperately needed to protect gun owners from federal gun-control laws and the Biden administration. The North Carolina Firearms Coalition supports this bill as introduced, so please don't weaken the bill or amend it in committee to include any gun-control! Join with Keith Kidwell to fight for our freedoms! HB189 by Keith Kidwell is the number one gun rights issue that North Carolina Republicans fight for! HB189 is the PERFECT answer to the federal gun-control bills being supported and rammed through Congress by the O'Biden Administration! HB189 is based on the Anti-Commandeering Doctrine, which has been upheld in the U.S. Supreme Court on many instances, like Prigg v. Pennsylvania, New York v. United States, Printz v United States, NFIB v. Sebelius, Murphy v. NCAA and others! This is GREAT legislation, and JUST the kind of thing voters like me elected Republican majorities FOR in the first place. The North Carolina Firearms Coalition will be monitoring your actions very closely, and will let me know how you vote.

I'm a constituent, I live in your district. Please pass SAPA, HB189, by Rep Keith Kidwell. With Biden and the Radical Left vowing to pass federal gun-control laws like Universal Gun Registration and bans on firearms like the AR15, the North Carolina General Assembly needs to make sure lawful gun owners are protected and our freedoms defended. HB189 is based on the same doctrine that states like California have used to make themselves “Sanctuary States” for illegal immigrants, only in this case it is the state of North Carolina making itself a Sanctuary State for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Specifically, it simply says that the State of North Carolina, nor any of its political subdivisions nor any of its officials, can use any of its resources to aid federal government in the enforcement of its gun control laws. This is an excellent bill, the most pro-gun bill North Carolina has considered in a very long time, and I'm asking you to vocally support, urge swift passage through committee and vote YES on the floor when it comes for a vote.

Gun control has been proven to be a terrible thing not only for Hoosiers and the American people, but the Democratic lawmakers (state and federal) who keep pushing it. And with an election on the horizon, you need to decide if you want to follow your caucus’s talking points on gun control or do the right thing and co-sponsor and vote for this legislation. Please support this legislation. The North Carolina Firearms Coalition will keep me informed.

Rep Keith Kidwell’s HB189 is exactly the kind of law that North Carolina needs - and NOW. Modeled from the bill recently passed in the Missouri House and currently working its way through legislatures all across America, this bill is very important because it forces the state of North Carolina to stand between tyrannical federal government and our constitutional rights! Rep. Kidwell is on the right path, I hope you will join him and get this bill to pass quickly. FIGHT for our freedoms and pass HB189! Rep. Keith Kidwell has introduced HB189, which would protect gun owners from the gun-control bills Joe Biden, Pelosi and Schumer are vowing to pass! The time to pass this important legislation is NOW!

Joe Biden and the radical left have declared war on the Second Amendment and hope to take a sledgehammer to our freedoms over the next four years! They want to ban, confiscate and destroy our guns because they want to turn this beautiful nation into a communist nightmare, and proud gun owners are the Brick Wall of Freedom standing in their way. Many anti-gun legislators here in North Carolina want to do the exact same thing, which is why Rep. Keith Kidwell is sponsoring the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) (H.B. 189) which would nullify federal gun control laws by requiring North Carolina peace officers to only enforce gun laws passed by the legislature in North Carolina. As one of your constituents, I am writing to urge you to support this legislation publicly, and to vote for it immediately! So while your caucus leaders and Michael Bloomberg may be opposed to this bill, realize that for gun owners like me who live in your district, this is a top priority in 2021. The North Carolina Firearms Coalition will keep me informed about this legislation, and of your action or inaction.
