Kansas Gov. signs 'strictest second amendment protection law' in the nation
I'm glad there are states moving in the right direction. Kudos to Kansas:
HUFFPO – Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) on Tuesday signed what is being called the nation's most pro-Second Amendment law, but one that could face constitutional challenges. The Second Amendment Protection Act exempts all guns that were made in Kansas and have not left the state from all federal gun control laws.
"We are open for business in Kansas."Last week, Brownback had signed a law to expand concealed carry of guns in public buildings in the state. Both measures had been sought by pro-gun lawmakers as a way to promote and expand the firearms industry in Kansas.
"My understanding is, it is the strictest Second Amendment protection law in the nation," state Rep. Brett Hildabrand (R-Shawnee), a co-sponsor of the exemption legislation, told The Huffington Post. "That is really great news. It creates a stark contrast with our neighbors in Colorado. I consider it a pro-job growth bill because of it encouraging the large gun manufacturers or those who make gun components to move to Kansas."
Hildabrand said he would like to see Kansas recruit gun manufacturers from those states enacting strict gun control laws — like Colorado and Maryland — to set up shop in the Sunflower State. He added that he has heard several gun manufacturers in such states have been looking for new homes.
"This sends a signal to the industry that Kansas is a pro-Second Amendment state," Hildabrand said. "We are open for business in Kansas."
