About enforcing those gun laws Sparky

Good day all. As you know, the totalitarian Progressive Democrats have begun their final assault on the Second Amendment. On the state level, New York jammed through a law that all but repeals the Second. However, other states and localities are pushing back and pushing back hard.

A number of states have passed or are looking at variations of the Firearms Freedom Act, first passed into law by the State of Montana. The law basically states that any firearms manufactured in a state and sold in the same state and NOT shipped out of state can not be regulated by the federal government under the commerce clause. Details on the FFA can be found here.

Now, with the latest attempts by the Obama tyranny to end the Second Amendment rights, (Along with the Constitution in general), states are now writing laws that not only reject the attempt by the Federal Government to suppress the Second, they are also putting teeth into the. The first state to do so is Oklahoma. A bill, called the 2^nd Amendment Preservation Act was submitted to the Oklahoma legislature a few days ago. Here are the details from the Tenth Amendment Center:

Introduced by Oklahoma State Senator Nathan Dahm is the Oklahoma 2nd Amendment Preservation Act. Senate bill 548 (SB548) would nullify any and all federal acts, orders, laws, statutes, rules, or regulations of the federal government on personal firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition.

Now that is a slap at Obama and the Totalitarian Progressive Democrats. How dare they reject the guidance of their master in Washington? Oh, it gets better.

The bill states, in part:

“federal acts, laws, orders, rules, regulations, bans, or registration requirements regarding firearms constitute an infringement on the individual right, are not authorized by the Constitution of the United States and violate its true meaning and intent as given by the founders and ratifiers, and are hereby declared to be invalid in the State of Oklahoma, shall not be recognized by this state, are specially rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state.”

But wait! There’s more!

The legislation also provides for criminal penalties for federal agents who try to enforce unconstitutional gun laws, rules, regulations, orders, and the like:

Any official, agent, or employee of the United States government or any employee of a corporation providing services to the United States government that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this act shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections not to exceed five (5) years, or by a fine not exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), or by both such fine and imprisonment

That’s called putting teeth into a law. If some BATFE raid team tries to go after a gun owner who has done nothing other then run afoul of Il Douche’s unconstitutional power grabs, that federal swat team will, at best, find its self in a local jail awaiting trial. At worst, if they resist, well, this time it will be the Federal Government that fires FROM Fort Sumter, not the other way around…as it were.

Oklahoma is not the only state doing this. As I mentioned before, Montana has also passed laws with regards to manufacturers making and selling guns inside state borders. Other states are as well.

While a number of states, including Wyoming, South Carolina, Indiana, and others – are looking to go head to head with the feds on specific issues under the 2nd amendment, the Oklahoma legislation, along with bills in Texas and Missouri, is the strongest introduced anywhere in the country so far.

People have had it with the utter incompetence of both parties in handling the affairs of the nation, and the penchant of both parties, especially the Progressive Totalitarian Democrats to ignore the constitution.

Tenth Amendment Center national communications director, Mike Maharrey summed up the sentiment:

“When you’ve got people like Feinstein talking about major bans and Biden telling us that all they need is an executive order, you know these folks are willing to go all the way. So, it’s good to see these folks in Oklahoma and other states go all the way as well, all the way in support the 2nd Amendment without any ifs, ands, or butts. The feds have absolutely zero constitutional authority to make any laws over your firearms. Period.”

Over the decades, many people have been killed because of gun control laws. To many were innocents who had their right to keep and bear arms and defend themselves stripped from them by elitist political figures. Others have been killed by law enforcement, primarily on the federal level when they were raided over bogus claims and entrapment’s.

The mass murder at the Sandy Hook school is being used by Obama and his like minded thugs. They are now trying to demonize gun owners, the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment groups. They just have one small problem. We’re fighting back. Today, there was a nationwide event. In all the state capitals, people gathered to tell both their state governments as well as the Federal Government that critical mass has been reached. We will NOT give up our rights.

Now, local sheriff’s are announcing that they will not enforce any federal law that goes against the constitution. This means that if Der Fubar and his minions want to arrest gun owners who won’t obey his orders, it’s going to require sending out Federal Agents. Without a doubt, they will hit someone who is ready for them and who will blow the Federal swat team to pieces. When the Federal agents call local law enforcement for help, they will be told not only will help not be forthcoming, but they were going to be arrested for all sorts of crimes. Think that won’t happen? It already has.

The states are being forced by Washington to do things that the Federal Government is NOT allowed to require. They love to use the Commerce Clause and the Supremacy Clause to issue one mandate after another. As far as the Washington power structure is concerned, it isn’t only the Second Amendment that they are going to do away with. There is also the Tenth Amendment.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Thanks to the Federal Government running roughshod over the states and local cities and towns, many are near bankruptcy. They have to comply with a huge number of mandates and demands, and if they refuse, Washington shuts the money off. Well, it looks like the states are going to start fighting back. I think the next step will be a demand for a few amendments to the constitution that will strip power away from Washington and back to the states. If, as I would expect, Congress refuses to pass and submit these amendments to the states, or plays games with them, the next step will be the calling fo a Constitutional Convention. This will bypass congress completely. This has come close to happening twice in U.S. History.

There have been two nearly-successful attempts to amend the Constitution via an Article V convention since the late 1960s. The first try was an attempt to propose an amendment that would overturn two Supreme Court decisions, Wesberry v. Sanders and Reynolds v. Sims, decisions that required states to adhere to the one man, one vote principle in drawing electoral districts for state and federal elections. The attempt fell only one state short of reaching the 34 needed to force Congress to call a convention in 1969, but ended by the death of its main promoter Senator Everett Dirksen. After this peak, several states rescinded their applications, and interest in the proposed amendment subsided. The next nearly-successful attempt to call a convention was in the late 1970s and 1980s, in response to the ballooning federal deficit. States began applying to Congress for an Article V convention to propose a balanced budget amendment. By 1983, the number of applications had reached 32, only two states short of the 34 needed to force such a convention. Enthusiasm for the amendment subsided in response to fears that an Article V convention could not be limited to a single subject and because Congress passed the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act, which required that the budget be balanced by 1991 (but that Act was overturned by the Supreme Court in 1986).

We may see movement on the second call thanks to the stupidity of Obama and congress. If a convention is called, they probably will probably tack on other amendments and really rip the guts out of Washington. Trying to strip away the right to keep and bear arms is probably another reason a CC might be called.

Considering Obama, he would probably try and ignore a convention or possibly shut it down all together. He does think he is the king of the United States after all.

I’ll post about the rally I attended tomorrow.

Thatisall
