I always wanted to live in Kansas.

Enjoyed it while I was there. Nice people, great place to raise a young family.

It passed several pro gun owner statutes in recent years, motivated in large part by the local reaction to the LA Katrina gun grab. Very reasonable CCW requirements.

Kobach is a competent attorney and I suspect he has the commitment of like-minded state AG’s who will join him when it gets to the USSC.

Sadly, Kansas is essentially a sanctuary state, no doubt due to its heavy agriculture market. Heard there were a number of smaller city governments in the control of "newly arrived" immigrants (a trend supported and nourished in recent years with frequent visits by key federal officials and new programs). At the state level the cost of welfare programs and education has gone ballistic.

And supressors too, if someone in Kansas decides to start manufacturing them and the items stay in Kansas.

They're already legal in Kansas.

They aren't threatening to interfere with those.

We know that, but you know Holder and Zero don't want/like anyone challenging their supreme authority.

Just sayin'.....

They are ;legal’ in Tennessee, too, if you ask the fedzilla for permission and pay them $200 for the stamp showing they’ve approved you/it. This Kansas law could make fedzilla permission obsolete, as it should be.

I could see a new tourism model for Kansas.

Come visit and rent a full auto at the range. Gun ranges will make a mint if they have enough ammo.

You can bet that the holder thuggery department will be setting up all sorts of stings, to try and indict Kansas businesses for violating Interstate commerce thus fedzilla laws. UPS, FedX, USPS won’t be taking any shipments, but ‘bootleggers’ will no doubt be trying to buy and smuggle out items, and that is how the fedzilla will get successful stings.

Time to start framing our 2nd amendment rights as a civil rights issue. Obuma is Bull Conner turning on the hose and letting loose the dogs. And we don’t own “assault weapons,” they’re sporting rifles.

We need to take back our language from the purse-carrying liberal Nazi snobs.

And, yeh, let’s start calling the democrat party the Nazi party. The low-information voters know that Nazis are bad.

Holder is all bark. He has zero authority to challenge a state law of any sort. Until he sends a goon to violate it and said goon gets arrested Holder has what he likes to call “no standing”. He ought to read his own mail and STFU until he stirs up a legitimate/fake complaint. But I want to know who the federal genius will be willing to risk time in a Kansas jail?-—by pushing his luck in Kansas without letting the local county Sheriff know what he’s up to. County sheriffs do indeed have authority to ride herd on out-of-line fedz.

“Ease then into it with the term “National Socialist” since the ignoramus’ have no idea what it means.”

Your suggestion is valid, JerseyDvl, but we’re dealing with people who have a low IQ. My contention is that these low-information voters understand that Nazis are evil, and we can use that against the democrat Nazi party.

Cheers, buddy.

>> Holder v. Brownback?

This is a big deal — in the words of Joe Biden...

I have renewed interest in Brownback.

Amazing how Holder Inc. does business - if a State tries to enforce a Federal law that they don’t like, they sue the State for doing so. Now, they threaten to sue the State that wants to abide by the Constitution. The tyrants are becoming more bold and are preparing to become more physically forceful.

Holder is wrong WRT the Constitution, and it’s not even a close call.

I would like to see a state law that makes criminals of Federal officers who fail to enforce national laws. By failing to enforce the law, they are endangering the people of the state.

One day after the legislation known as S.B. 102 became law, U.S. Attorney Gen. Eric Holder sent a sharply worded missive to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback calling the law unconstitutional.

This is what's Constitutional.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.. Period, end of story.

No background checks, no "permits", no registering guns.

Why should Holder give a crap about that?>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The leftist plan is to destroy the gun culture of all the red states. They cannot do that directly or indirectly if the feds cannot pronounce federal legislation on firearms
in Kansas. How far does the federal plan go? Well we already see opertion fast and furious, demographic cross border warfare using Mexican cartels and illegal aliens, and we see Big Sis at DHS buying up all the ammo she can.
We have a refusal by the feds to enforce immigration law.
Put it all together.

The plan seems pretty clear. Kansas has just thrown a big wrench into the plan, as has Arizona in the past.

Just read up on that case. What a bunch of evil, malicious twisting of the meaning of words - something courts do all to often!
