“the federal government can override anything”
If that were true, there would no longer be states . . .

That's not what the supremacy clause says. In order for the supremacy clause to apply, the federal government must first have the enumerated power to make the law.

If it comes to bullets flying, we need state sovereignty.

Only operative on legitimate federal authority. NOT operative on the Barbra Streisand they keep pushing. Not that it stops Congress and Obambi (Or other past presidents).

Thank you Abraham Lincoln. I applaud this assertion of the 10th Amend., but it is too late. The States were neutered a long time ago.

The federal government cannot override the Constitution. The federal government exists only because the states allow to exist.

I noticed a problem with your tagline. I mean no offence, but there is no comma in “...One nation under God...” It is one statement.
