The Alaska 2nd Amendment Preservation Act (HB69), now signed into law by Governor Parnell, is a strong rejection of federal gun control measures. However, the struggle supporting the right to keep and bear arms is far from over.

The new law states that:

a statute, regulation, rule, or order that has the purpose, intent, or effect of confiscating any firearm, banning any firearm, limiting the size of a magazine for any firearm, imposing any limit on the ammunition that may be purchased for any firearm, or requiring the registration of any firearm or its ammunition infringes on an Alaskan’s right to bear arms in violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and, therefore, is not made in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, is not authorized by the Constitution of the United States, is not the supreme law of the land, and, consequently, is invalid in this state and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state.

and bans the use of assets to

implement or aid in the implementation of a requirement of an order of the President of the United States, a federal regulation, or a law enacted by the United States Congress that is applied to infringe on a person’s right, under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, to keep and bear arms

As Judge Andrew Napolitano has said recently, such widespread noncompliance will make federal gun control measures “nearly impossible to enforce.”  (video here)

It’s going to take work to ensure that this is how things play out.  Here’s what you can start doing right now. 

1.  Contact your local legislators – County, City, Town – and urge them to introduce model legislation in support of the new Alaska 2nd Amendment Preservation Act.
