Start with the 18th Amendment - http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxviii" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;tbrown wrote:I'm reading about prohibition and I can't find any documentation for booze buybacks. I can't find anything about ATF going house to house to confiscate alcohol either. What am I missing?
Where is possession prohibited?AMENDMENT XVIII
SECTION 1.
After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
SECTION 2.
The Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
SECTION 3.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several states, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the Congress.
Interesting side note - why would the federal government need to pass a Constitutional amendment for liquor prohibition, which was not specifically mentioned in the Bill of Rights? However, the current anti-2nd amendment crowd considers anyone objecting to infringing on the 2nd Amendment through simple legislation or executive fiat to be extremists.
