And when Holder declares that anybody involved will be charged for obstruction of justice, and hauled away by federal marshals?

I see these states deputizing the local citizenry en mass. Plenty of us that would back our local boys.

You sure got that right in the villages & rural areas. Local VPSO's haven't been enforcing many fed regs for years; especially when it comes to second amendment issues.

People that don't even like each other, will help each other if the hated feds come to town.

Police serve at the behest of their cities and are authorized by their state, and Deputies serve at the behest of their counties and are authorized by the state. Neither Police nor Deputies enforce Federal Law, they enforce State Law and therefore are not subordinate too nor answer too Federal Law Enforcement....unless it involves a Federal case and their chain of command authorizes cooperation.

That was before federal law enforcement grant money became a significant part of the local police budget -- money that can be cancelled if cooperation is not given.

we will sustain a massive psyops and propaganda attack which has already begun.

And it's a really nasty one. I had occasion a day or two ago to be looking at political cartoons via 'bing' ... the leftist cartoonists in Big Media are depicting the NRA dripping with blood, and gun owners as wild-eyed lunatics. Check it out. It's no different in its vile falseness or its sheer viciousness from National Socialist depictions of Jews in the 1930s. In fact, digging up and printing a handful of anti-semitic NAZI cartoons might be useful, for comparison purposes.

I don't own a newspaper, I can't publish cartoons. I can counter it in conversation with friends, neighbors, coworkers ... paint the Big Media - Big Government Axis as the ones who just love dead kids. They, after all, are the ones who won't support armed defense of kids in school. The recent NRA ad is perfect in that regard.

After some thought on his warnings about this propaganda problem, I do think it will have an effect on many of the non-veteran ranks.

It will affect all of us, in different ways. The BM/BG Axis will not present its actions as "evil tyrants suppressing the human rights of innocent citizens". (Duh!) They will be 'bringing scofflaws to justice', or 'getting dangerous lunatics off the street', or 'breaking up domestic terrorist cells'. How many times have we seen a news report of some nutjob 'barricaded in his house', 'holding his children hostage', having a 'standoff with police'? Most of the time, it really is a nutjob ... but that's how tyrants will paint patriots. Patriots absolutely MUST develop channels to get the truth out under, over, or around Big Media.

What I take from things like this Alaska bill, whether it gets passed and enforced or not, are the levels of resistance the oathbreaking ranks among the Feds are likely to encounter.

I agree. (Surprised?) The level of resistance will certainly vary by state and region. I know some folks in a neighboring state's National Guard. They have no problem being called out to deal with natural disasters ... I think if they were called out to assist with gun-grabs under the guise of riot control, many of them would simply not show up. I am much less confident about some other NG units ... We have also seen some police chiefs express intent to support a gun-grab. What the rank-and-file will do is not as clear.

The fact that we work amongst them and they live amongst us is a element that needs to be taken into account.

Yes, that is certainly true.

That affects huge departments in big cities but that doesn't affect the bulk and majority of local law enforcement which is comprised of medium-to-small town's departments and the bulk of counties that don't have millions of people.
Also, I'm not sure what exactly you think these law enforcement grants are for......mainly 1 time equipment buying.
The Feds do NOT have a stranglehold on law enforcement departments (save for huge ones) like they do on whole States.
