APPEARS IN Hunting

Your Help is Needed Today to Protect Arkansas’ Hunting Heritage!

Monday, March 16, 2009

Please Contact the Members of the House State Agencies & Governmental Affairs Committee!

The Arkansas General Assembly is wrapping up this year’s legislative session, and one of NRA’s top priorities -- Senate Joint Resolution 3 -- needs your support! 

SJR 3, introduced by pro-gun State Senator Steve Faris (D-27), seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Arkansas to recognize that citizens of the state have a right to hunt and fish.  Passage of SJR 3 would allow the citizens of Arkansas to vote on this amendment, which would ensure that the right to hunt (as well as fish) will be protected for future generations. 

SJR 3 is the culmination of years of hard work by Senator Faris and NRA, and we are committed to passing this amendment this year.  While the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission has opposed similar proposals in the past, this year, after careful negotiations, the Commission has removed its objections. 

The House State Agencies & Governmental Affairs Committee will soon consider SJR 3.  It is critical that NRA members and fellow sportsmen contact the Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to support SJR 3.  Contact information can be found below.
