you'd just get another bunch of gungrabbers. This legislative initiative by the states takes the leftwingtard's own argument about the Second and uses it to protect the state's own gunrights while denying any gunrights to the federal government.

People like that Maloney gal probably didn't see that one coming.

Next, disarming the federales!

States to feds: Hands off our guns

Funny but in NY the converse is true. For Andrew Cuomo’s gun grab he has asked the VA to give the state, psychiatric information of former service members now residing in NY. and the VA told Cuomo, NO DICE.

When are people going to understand that the elite in Versailles on the Potomac don’t give two hoots in Hell what we the people want, wish or think? They think that election equates to coronation.

And they really don’t care if people don’t obey their gun confiscation ‘laws”, they really want to make us all criminals. Easier to control. What they are NOT counting on is organized resistance. I’m talking of MILLIONS of people, using guerrilla tactics, like Francis Marion did.

OR we can let the regime and Elmer Fudd make us all slaves.

This situation reminds me of the 18th Amendment, where "liquors" were banned; aka "prohibition."

In other words, prohibition wasn't the brainchild of a President or any other legislative body in America, it was a duly enacted mistake backed by a thoroughly considered Constitutional Amendment; and subsequently repealed by the 21st Constitutional Amemdment.

And so it is, the only way to erase the 2nd Amendment, is ... with another Constitutional Amendment.

QED!

In fact pass so much anti-gun control legislation that they will wish they’d never even tried...

Millions of Lone Wolves--the kind of dissent the government fears most because Lone Wolves cannot be infiltrated like organized resistance.

Ditto. No more lifelong rides for politicians on the coattails of taxpayers. Same with the Supreme Court justices. Boot Roberts to the curb along with the other traitors. And make them have to be affected by their own rulings.

There are also a number of counties in NYS that are rejecting the SAFE Act, SO...

It appears to me that the cities may be somewhat successful in implementing gun control while the rural areas will resist. This is a dichotomy that, at first glance, it seems I could live with since one can choose to live where they feel comfortable.

DC does not care about rural areas. The bureacrats and politicans are too busy finding ways to force people into the cities.

“... regulatory efforts in Washington to tamp down on gun violence”

They are NOT efforts to fight “gun violence” - which is a bogus term to begin with. They are efforts to ultimately ban and confiscate all weapons in public hands other than the authorities. They are efforts to disarm us so we can’t fight back should it come to that.

In addition to dozens of bills pending in the House and Senate, the Justice Department and other agencies are moving ahead 23 executive actions announced by President Obama in January.

None of which deal with preventing more deaths like those 20 innocent children in Connecticut. If you are going to make a law, at least try to solve the problem!

“UCLA law Professor Adam Winkler, an expert in the politics of gun control, said states are not at liberty to disregard federal laws”

Wrong. State nullification can occur with unconstitutional laws as stated by the founding fathers who ultimately gave the power to the States along with the final say. If the Feds passed a law banning books for example that law can be ignored. Even the Federal courts have no say in denying constitutional rights since they’re just a branch of the federal government. Constitutional laws on the other hand like funding for national defense cannot be disregarded.

Perhaps, but I have observed that many in Congress don't head straight for the gun-control bills as soon as they're sworn in. There are exceptions (Carolyn McCarthy and Fauxcahontas, for sure), but most seem to be initially concerned with grabbing their slice of the corruption pie. With term limits, only the true anti-gun ideologues would even broach the subject. The rest would probably not deem it worthy of their limited time.

My understanding of the Kansas bill is that it retroactively voids all federal gun laws to 1859.

“None of which deal with preventing more deaths like those 20 innocent children in Connecticut. If you are going to make a law, at least try to solve the problem!”

Silly human, the politicians could care less about the dead in CT or body counts in Chicago (highest in nation). This gun control legislation is about CONTROL: Registration, Confiscation, Extermination.

You don't think that FedGov will turn its guns on Americans? Does the name Randy Weaver or Waco Siege ring a bell? Feds murdered Randy Weaver's son and wife and shot him and Kevin Harris. The Feds gassed and incinerated the Branch Davidians at Waco. Of course they will kill Americans — what is DHS going to do with 1.6 billion rounds of ammo and 2,000+ MRAPS (mine protected armored personnel carriers) and 7,000 machine guns?
