Support of the 2nd Amendment is the antithesis of slavery, we are trying to prevent them from making us slaves.
>>In linking it to slavery, he wrote, “A sad irony is that the ‘sanctuary’ movement conjures the disturbing nullification movements of the past three centuries in Virginia. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison argued that the states have the right to ignore federal laws they consider unconstitutional.”
WHAT Federal laws are the gun sanctuaries ignoring?
It is the states that are ignoring Federal protection of gun ownership.
Is is ok to extend his argument to say that cities and states that offer dope sanctuaries and illegal immigrant sanctuaries are akin to those that continued slavery in rejection of Federal law?
So what’s that make “illegal sanctuaries”?

That thinking was applied to proslavery movements, leading to the Civil War and the fight over integration in the 1950s and 1960s.”
What’s he trying to do? Steal from AOC the world championship belt in stupidity?
“Jefferson and James Madison argued that the states have the right to ignore federal laws they consider unconstitutional.”
They may have argued this, but it doesn’t make it so.
The constitution is the supreme law of the land when
it comes to a citizens rights. The right to keep and
bear arms is not a federal law. It is the natural
right to self defense, and based from nature itself.
Every animal on the planet has a right to self defense.
Bears have claws, snakes have fangs. I have the natural
right to meet force with equal or greater force in my
defense.
That is hilarious.
Aren’t sanctuary cities and states for illegal aliens a far better metaphor to slavery? Elitist lefties have their cheap labor concentrated where they want them using the fear of leaving their “sanctuaries” as a cudgel to keep them in line and keep their wages down.
These gun grabbers are failing to go after the real problem: the illegal traffic of drugs. It is in the pursuit of the illegal trafficking of drugs that most of the violence from guns occurs. When gangs ran illegal alcohol during Prohibition, the automatic Tommy Guns came out. Guns go hand in glove with illegal activity. Eliminate the illegal activity and you eliminate the gun violence. As long as there is the illegal activity, law abiding people need guns to defend themselves and others from the crazed killers.
So - FReedom to protect oneself and your loved ones is akin to slavery now...say the would-be slave-owners.
Peter Galuszka has never been anything more than a democrat activist with a byline.
Au contraire. Those sanctuaries are the patriots' Underground Railroad.
People were enslaved because they were unequal, deficient, weak.
Having guns aids equality, decreases weakness. Guns are a defense against those who use the tyrannical law as a weapon be they Iranian or American
Sorry hypocrites. When you applauded the “Sanctuary city” movement on illegal aliens, you lost all moral credibility to posture now. You don’t get to selectively pick and choose which laws you will enforce.
Liberals love sanctuary cities.
