>>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?

How is that any different from the immigration "sanctuary cities"?

Denying that nullification is an option is a step down the road to tyranny.

I don't think it's an extension at all...it's already there.
