The main reason that there are no consequences to ignoring the laws is the following imo.
With all due respect to mom & pop, for many generations parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding State had intended for those powers to be understood.
So sadly, citizens don’t even know that the corrupt feds are breaking the law and the corrupt Washington cartel probably knows this and is exploiting the situation.
Preach on, brother. I am with you 100% on that.
