Joint Resolution 0004 Constitutional Right to Hunt & Fish. Passed 41-6. I sure hope that this dog of a Constitutional Amendment makes somebody feel better. Because having this thing cluttering up the Constitution isn’t actually going to protect anybody’s rights. And I quote:
The people have a right to hunt, fish, and harvest game, which are a valued part of our heritage and shall be forever preserved for the public good, subject to laws prescribed by the General Assembly and rules prescribed by virtue of the authority of the General Assembly.
This amendment says that the General Assembly can go ahead and do what it wants with regard to regulating hunting and fishing. The state is not restrained in the least by this amendment. And it won’t bind the federal government from exercising its authority. I mean, at least the homosexual marriage amendment actually does something. Agree or disagree with the policy, if passed, it will limit the authority of the state government.
