Louisiana Gun Rights
Louisiana gun rights activists had much to celebrate following our most recent election, as voters approved Amendment Number 2, which required the โstrict scrutinyโ standard be applied regarding gun laws and the state constitution.
โThe constitutional change โ pushed by the National Rifle Association โ would require โstrict scrutiny' of any restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms,โ The Advocate explained. โThe legal standard would require courts, when asked, to determine whether the state's gun laws demonstrate โcompelling governmental interest' and are โnarrowly defined.' If not, they are to be thrown out as unconstitutional. Louisiana becomes the first state with the โstrict scrutiny' standard.โ
โThis is a truly historic day for Louisiana,โ said state Senator Neil Riser (R-Columbia), who championed the amendment in the Legislature. โWe are sending a message to the rest of the nation of our strong support of the right to keep and bear arms.โ
Amendment Number 2 was approved by 75 percent of Louisiana voters.
