Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz has violated his oath of office, and blatantly infringed on our Second Amendment Rights! Sign the Petition below, demanding he cease his lawless behavior IMMEDIATELY!
Your message will also be copied to the Governor, asking him to investigate these blatant violations of law. Alaska Statute 11.76.110 Interference with constitutional rights.
Mayor Berkowitz,
Your recent unconstitutional closing of firearms retailers is a clear and blatant violation of your oath of office. Decreeing the forced closure of Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, and the Sportsman’s Warehouse, is a violation of Alaska Statute 29.35.145(a), which makes it illegal for you to limit the sale of firearms within the Municipality of Anchorage.
Your recent conduct infringes on the right to keep and bear arms, guaranteed in the Constitution of the State of Alaska (Article I, Section Nineteen), and by the United States Constitution. Further, this conduct is in conflict with your own emergency order issued on March 20, 2020.
Immediately cease and desist from these and any other unconstitutional and illegal attempts to limit legal access to firearms in the Municipality of Anchorage.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
