Anchorage, AK - On Friday, July 10th, Alaska Governor Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27 (HJR27), sponsored by State Rep. Mike Kelly. The resolution “claims sovereignty for the state under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States.”
I wonder how BATF is going to spread itself thin enough to cover all these sovereign states.........???
What is the deal with Uncle Sam buying AK from Russia. Does the Fed govt still own the state?
If AK sticks to it’s guns, AK and other states, should tell the Fed to get screwed and we are developing our own energy. The states need to tell the Feds that we will have access to federal land to explore and develop energy.
The Dems lock up all this land making it parks because Wash DC is owned by the Saudis.
what is BATF?
its now - BATFE
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
BATF - Bureau of Alchohol Tobacco and Firearms.
Should be the name of a convenience store, but instead it’s a federal agency.
Proud sponsors of Ruby Ridge and Waco.
Dam. I missed it. I knew they were going to secede and become the world’s largest oil exporting country.
This should be entirely non-controversial and “self-evident” (to borrow a phrase), but I’m sure the media will turn it into something sinister.
This is the best Tenth Amendment news i’ve read
since the first time i read the Constitution,
all those decades ago.
It may become a foothold.
Don’t forget the Ninth, either.
WOW!!!
This lays down the gauntlet.
But Alaska is correct to do this and then stay consistent with it all the time.
Excellent!
Interesting how many of these states take pains to not step on federal law 922(o) (prohibition of post-’86 machineguns).
So does this post need a (BATF Alert). Sorry I couldn’t resist
What is the deal with Uncle Sam buying AK from Russia. Does the Fed govt still own the state?
Some where around 70% of the state is still under federal control. It’s by far the highest control by the federal gov’t of any state in the nation.
How many states have done this now?
It’s a convenience store:
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms.
It’s by far the highest control by the federal gov’t of any state in the nation.
Correction should be..........
Nevada has the highest Federal controlled areas at almost 85%.
Depending upon which web site you look at there are 20+ states listed......
