State and National Security Petition

State & National Security Petition

Pursuant to the Constitution of the United States of America Amendment I (1) and to the Constitution of the State of Wyoming Article I (1) Section XXI (21) as citizens of the United States, residents of the State of Wyoming and residents of the County of Campbell hereby exercise our constitutionally protected “right” to petition our government for redress of violations of the Constitution for the United States of America on 01/04/2023. Therefore; The State of Wyoming by virtue of her governing bodies are and have been in collusion with the Federal Government and Judicial System to usurp the rights reserved to the people [Amendment IX (9)] of the United States of America via enforcement of powers not enumerated to the United States nor to the States [Amendment X (10)]. Whereas; HB0095 Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act (2010) & SF0102 Second Amendment Protection Act (2022) are unconstitutional per the Constitution of the United States of America Article IV (4) Section II (2), Amendment II (2), Amendment IX (9), Amendment XIV (14) Section I (1) and blatant in contradiction to the intentions established by the Founding Fathers. [Quote] "On every question of construction (of the Constitution) let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." (Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, June 12, 1823). [Court Precedent] New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc v. Bruen (2022) that under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the government cannot restrict the right to possess firearms unless the restriction is consistent with historical tradition. Whereas: The Founding Fathers intentions and the Constitution of the United States of America has been misconstrued and/or blatantly distorted to disarm the people and disband the militia of the several states of a force capable of projecting military force against standing armies foreign or domestic. [Quote] "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive. " (Noah Webster, "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787) Whereas; HB0095 restricts the weapons and ammunition required to support a functional militia and/or defense against standing armies [Court Precedent] United States v. Miller (1939) whether the arm "at this time" is "ordinary military equipment" or its use "could" potentially assist in the common defense. SF0102 willingly surrenders Amendment X (10) directly in conflict with Amendment IX (9) stripping the power of the people, expanding beyond enumeration the power of the Federal Government. Although SF0102 cites Printz v. United States there is no evidence the State of Wyoming has been coerced nor commandeered in her acceptance of federal funding or willingness to assist federal agencies. This endangers the rights of the citizens of Wyoming to the Bi-Partisan Safer Communities Act, HR1808 as well as any current or future unconstitutional acts, executive orders, rules or laws that infringe on the Constitution of the United States Amendment II (2). Thus; We the people demand the Commissioners of Campbell County uphold their oath to the Constitution of the United States of America by delivering this petition within 30 days to the State of Wyoming, Governor Mark Gordon & the 67th Legislature for the repeal of the unconstitutional laws; HB0095, SF0102 and all referenced unconstitutional statutes.

Below are the laws in question, summary: accepts federal funds, provides assistance to feds, may but not required to protect arms made in Wyoming, no teeth to punish those who may violate your constitutional rights, limits the types of arms you may have. Despite the attempt to appear legitimate I have added every statute referenced to SF0102 so it is easy to see the deception;
