This important amendment will be on the Nov 2010 ballot, but does it require a simple majority vote or some level of super-majority for passage?
BTW, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled in 1905 that the 4th Article created a collective right for the militia. This was discounted by the US Supreme Court in 2008 in the Heller case wherein the SCOUS ruled the US BoR SEcond Amendment was an individual right. The language of the current 4th Article "4. Bear arms; armies. The people have the right to
bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time
of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be tolerated, and the
military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power." was wronly decided in 1905.
The people have the right to
bear arms for their defense and security; [colon] means a new thought begins.
The people means individuals and how can armies need a "right" to bear arms. Armies have the power to bear arms.
So, just for clarity, this should pass, it had huge majorities in both houses.
