I urge you to support HB 4577, which would nullify unconstitutional federal gun control in West Virginia. Also, reject all attempts to water down the bill; watering it down will accomplish nothing and result in a bill that fails to protect us. HB 4577 would ban state and local government entities from enforcing federal gun-control laws and regulations if they violate the Second Amendment. With the policies coming out of D.C., we need this more than ever. Article VI of the Constitution, along with the 2nd and 10th Amendments, justify this bill. I encourage you to read the following article for a more in-depth explanation of nullification: thenewamerican.com/state-legislators-must-use-nullification-to-enforce-the-constitution/ Please take action on -- and enact -- HB 4577.

I implore you to support HB 4577. Additionally, please oppose all attempts to weaken the bill. This bill would prevent government officials in West Virginia from enforcing federal gun-control laws that violate both the U.S. Constitution and the West Virginia Constitution. This bill is legally grounded in the 2nd and 10th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, Article VI of the Constitution states that only laws that are in accordance with the Constitution can be enforced. I encourage you to also consider these provisions when thinking about HB 4577.

Please enact HB 4577 -- a very strong bill to robustly nullify unconstitutional federal laws. Don't pass weak or toothless legislation -- only strong and effective bills. Accordingly, please reject any effort to weaken or water down HB 4577. The U.S. Constitution not only encourages, but requires, that unconstitutional laws be nullified. Article VI says: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” If a law goes against the U.S. Constitution, it can and should legally be ignored. HB 4577 is a great starting point for this. It deals specifically with 2nd Amendment issues. However, you should also go further and also pass bills that deal with other portions of the Constitution that are being violated. Please see the following lecture for more information about enforcing the Constitution: jbs.org/video/6not5/nullification-the-rightful-remedy/ Please support and enact HB 4577.

I urge you to support HB 4577, which enforces the U.S. Constitution against federal overreach. DON'T water down the bill -- keep it robust and strong. Article VI is an important provision, particularly the following line: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” This section unambiguously states that laws that align with the Constitution are the supreme law of the United States. This also means that laws that don't align with the Constitution cannot be considered valid. Please support and enact HB 4577.

I strongly request that you protect the 2nd Amendment by supporting HB 4577. Please ensure that this bill ISN'T watered down or weakened. The Second Amendment is under attack, and the appropriate response is for state legislatures to protect it from federal overreach. HB 4577 does this by stopping all levels of government from enforcing unconstitutional gun control policies. This bill is supported by the text of the Constitution (the 2nd and 10th amendments, and Article VI), along with multiple Supreme Court rulings and the writings of the founding fathers: tenthamendmentcenter.com/2015/03/26/refuting-objections-but-nullification-isnt-in-the-constitution/ tenthamendmentcenter.com/2018/05/23/anti-commandeering-an-overview-of-five-major-supreme-court-cases/ Please defend our 2nd Amendment by enacting HB 4577.
