Missouri has a question about legalizing marijuana on the ballot for an amendment. The problem I have with it is the "rules" are 6 pages long. I didn't read through all of it. I would prefer clean and simple. Do we want to legalize it? The government wants this to pass in my opinion so they can regulate the shit out of it hence the 6 pages of rules. In fact we are getting an extra long ballot, "17" 👀 inches instead of the standard 11 inches all due to the excessive language in this amendment.
They namely put language from previous decisions so that it cannot be misinterpreted. Thus declaring it an individual right. I think the strict scrutiny is meant to make it exceedingly difficult to even draft a bill that would infringe, like say a $1000 tax on all ammunition purchases.

Why isn't "Shall not be infringed" be enough?

obviously this isn't a bad thing, but I can't help but think if they went the other way.
