Why is this IDIOT “shocked” about people refusing to obey an UNLAWFUL act

He's shocked because he is a servile well behaved east coast republican.

Fourth Amendment.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That portion of the 4473 is filled out for the FFL’s records after the purchase has been approved by NICS. Unless the Feds get the 4437, they do not have that information.

[hinckley buzzard]

The Founding Fathers exhausted all avenues of nonviolent appeal before finally determining that a severance of ties was necessary. It would be advisable that latter day firebrands do the same.

[William Tell]

ROCKLOBSTER said: "The US Constitution applies to the federal government."

Much of the Bill of Rights, which is part of the US Constitution, has been applied against the states since the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 shortly after the end of the Civil War.

The Second Amendment was ruled by the Supreme Court to apply against the states in the McDonald decision in 2010. Any gun laws in effect in the states which infringe the right to keep and bear arms are void and unenforceable.

From a practical standpoint, of course, many of these laws will have to be challenged and appealed in order to have them explicitly declared unconstitutional.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Probably depends on their state Constitutions.

Amendment X

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.

Sorry, but if ANY state mandated that soldiers be housed by the citizens, that would be challenged and overturned by SCOTUS. Not a chance in hell of that law standing.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

The SCOTUS!!

You mean the ones that ruled in favor of ObamaCare, McCain/Feingold CFR, Kelo, Baby-killing?

What do they know about the Constitution?

There are over 6000 languages in the world, if the Supreme Court has been charged with “Intrepreting the Constitution”...then they’d better get crackin’.

Otherwise they are to be the final word on all cases arising “under this Constitution” and not just making it up as they go along.

We need a serious review and reboot of SC “Constitutional” rulings.

[lentulusgracchus]

[Art.] Trying to prosecute 50,000 to 350,000 gun owners would be insanity.

Really? Not even if :

• Obama is a Communist,
• Obama wants a fight in which he can claim the moral high ground (like Lincoln) and then take the fight to whatever pitch of violence he needs,
• Obama is using the 2A fight as a stalking horse for installing a "people's republic",
• Obama wants to use the law to "purge" all the Norman Rockwell Americans, dominate them, cow them, and claim thereafter to be the Great Black Liberator who brought Whitey to his knees and "liberated" America from its European-born oppressors?

Not even if that's what is on Obama's plate?

[T-Bird45]

Love your last line — I’m sure some Texan will be along shortly to claim it as a sigline.

[Psalm 144]

Follow the bouncing ball, sugar.

[Lurker]

It’s time for decent townsfolk make this jack boot’s life very, very uncomfortable. In every possible way.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Is that some kind of “dyslexic” joke? (A dyslexic walks into a bra)

[HiTech RedNeck]

I think it’s obvious that Conn. has tried to shut the whole state into a rubber room and the chaotic consequences are following.

Connecticutters (Connecticuttians?) finally said, enough.

“The Left will pick and choose and select easy targets to intimidate the rest of non-compliers.”

No intelligent individual would take on such a futile task.

[Truth29]

But Obama’s brown shirt militia would; and that militia is comprised of, among others, of the overly militarized, Federally funded, MRAP equipped local police forces.

Sure they would. But, like I said....No intelligent individual would take on such a futile task.
