Irritate? No just stimulate. I irritate by what I say.
There is no "right" of a criminal to possess firearms nor one of mentally ill people. Nor of those who would and have picked up arms against the USA. The second and the first are not Absolutes allowing everyone to possess any destructive device or say anything at anytime.
The People of Montana nor those of any other state cannot decide which federal laws are worthy of their acceptance. Such a decision is out of their hands unless the amendment process is followed. Maybe you see some hitherto unknown phrase in the Constitution which says "Oh, any law can be ignored if it fails to pass your personal constitutional litmus test."
Any law believed to be unconstitutional can only be challenged through the courts whether you like it or not.
State officials do swear and oath to defend the Constitution and what that document means is not left to their individual whims. George Wallace had no constitutional right to prevent Black students from attending state colleges not matter what delusion he was laboring under at the time. A delusion which passed when he recanted and for which he was forgiven. HE was man enough to admit he was wrong.
Montana has every right to challenge any fedlaw it wishes but it only has ONE legitimate venue to do so and that is through the courts. States do this all the time as was anticipated by our Founders.
Well, you try.
It is like throwing a steak into a tank of sharks not much required to start a feeding frenzy.
Fedgov only has one legitimate venue to expand it's enumerated powers - through amendment. Playing nice is a two way proposition.
Sounds like a pretty good definition of "trolling".
I agree with that.
Not at all.
Well, your opinion isn't subject to majority approval, and vice versa.
Why would I want it to be so?
Did I say you did?
Pardon me for believing your post was intended to have some relevence.
Nope. Not in the mood for pardoning trolls today. Justshutupandgetoverit.
Trolls don't support FR. Do you?
Trolls troll. It's what they do, regardless of whatever else they do or don't do.
I gather you speak from experience and also DON'T support FR.
You gather quite badly.
This thread has officially ended with your decision to replace lack of knowledge with sophmoric attempts to insult.
Isn't that special. If you think you been abused, you know where the button is.
