Kansas SOC response to Eric Holder
Kansas Secretary of State ^ | 5/2/2013 | Kris W. Koback

Posted on 05/03/2013 2:11:56 PM PDT by JohnKinAK

Excerpts:

“On April 26, 2013, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder sent a letter to Kansas Governor Brownback concerning SB 102, the Second Amendment Protection Act. In that letter, Holder declares SB 102 to be unconstitutional and suggests that federal officials will disregard it. Holder’s understanding of the United States Constitution is incorrect.

As one of the co-authors of SB 102 and a former professor of constitutional law, I ensured that it was drafted to withstand any legal challenge. SB 102 states that a firearm that is assembled in Kansas, that is stamped “Made in Kansas,” and that never leaves the State of Kansas is not subject to regulation by the federal government. It was drafted with the intent to assert Kansas’s authority as a co-equal sovereign under the United States Constitution to regulate a matter that is outside Congress’s jurisdiction under the Interstate Commerce Clause of Article I, Section 8. It was also drafted to stave off unconstitutional legislation pending in Congress that not only infringes upon the Second Amendment rights of Kansas Citizens, but also exceeds Congress’s constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce.”

"With respect to his concern that federal officials be allowed to enforce federal laws, Mr. Holder’s statement is a curious one. He was evidently not concerned that ATFE officials be allowed to enforce federal law when his agency oversaw the “fast and furious” operation to walk guns into the hands of Mexican cartels.

The State of Kansas is determined to restore the Constitution and to protect the right of its citizens to keep and bear arms."

Easy fix (though the ‘10’s-20’s SC decisions are for shit anyway)....Constitutional carry. No license, no permission, tell Fedzilla to F off

That SCOTUS decision was unconstitutional.

Is there a non-Scribd source for that letter? To have to have anything to do with the repulsive Facebook just to get a document is a revolting prospect.

The Governor should send an engraved invitation to Holder inviting him to come to Kansas personally and attempt to violate their new law. If he’s so sure it’s un-Constitutional he won’t mind being the test case personally.

The ATF is nothing more than a bunch of overweight pig state terrorists created to murder women, children and babies. The Nazi pig Holder runs that operation. Let’s not forget that George H W Bush defended these cowardly murderers.

Gee, and our Florida AG is busy trying to lynch a man in my county for defending himself against a black thug...because her attorney friend is representing the punks family.

Would like to trade Kansas for their AG.....I will throw in a RINO Amnesty Liberal Senator, too. My AG is kinda pretty too

The answer to Wickard v. Filburn is principled defiance and a philosophical reconsideration of the limits of stare decisis.
