Through taking our nation back through the States. We need to make our state legislatures, senates, and governors nullify federal laws through state legislation. Basically, states need to say “beat it” and we need to ignore federal law that states have nullified.

I agree, if I read that correctly.

Not just federal laws; state laws too.
For example, I live in New Mexico, Article 2, Section 6 of the State Constitution reads as follows:
[Right to bear arms.]
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing
herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms. (As
amended November 2, 1986.)

Yet there are state laws which, for example, prohibit firearms on University grounds:

So then, let me ask this: What happens if I were to strap on my .45 Glock and go to school with it? According to NMSA 1987 30-7-2.4 I would be guilty of a misdemeanor; yet according to the State Constitution there is NO [valid] law against having/’wearing’ a firearm for self-defense.

>Basically, states need to say “beat it” and we need to ignore federal law that states have nullified.

IMO, what we need to do is realize that words mean things and start forcing people’s hands. IE, maybe I should take my gun to school, whereupon my firearm will likely be confiscated (read stolen) and I will be [illegally] charged with a misdemeanor. It is entirely plausible that the federal crimes “Deprivation of rights under color of law” & “Conspiracy against rights” could apply to the law enforcement officers.
