Hmmmmmmmmm..... Regardless of a final ruling, this fight will never go away.

As long as the Court upholds the New Deal Commerce Clause, and gives Congress the authority to dictate what you can and cannot buy, sell, or own (including firearms) as an exercise in "regulating commerce among the several states", you are correct.

I speak as a Texan....

When people of Texas react to Washington's lack of integrity, by getting mad and screaming and shouting for our unique right as Texans to secede...to most fellow Texans, they are viewed as loons.

But.......once the feds disgust the majority of legal Texans, as in the Henry Cuellar incident on the Glen Beck show last night, the prospect of secession remains a long-shot, not just a proposition of the angry, but the otherwise silent Texans begin to take notice and give this prospect some serious consideration.

We have a responsibility to our families to demand that Washington royalty be manhandled.

Texas can and will eventually choose its own destiny......I believe that this fire was lit by Rep Cuellar in his condescending insult to the Sheriff of Webb County (Rick Flores) last night. Cuellar stated that federal troops will NEVER be allowed to protect the border....and told the Sheriff, "You do you job as a Sheriff, and I will do my by looking at the BIG PICTURE....

FYI...Sheriff Flores is opposed in the coming election by Rep Henry Cuellar's brother...Hmmmm what a coincidence. Flores has 5 deputies to serve one of the largest border counties in Texas...these deputies cover 3,376 square miles of territory and a supported by the tax revenue of 193,000 with an average annual per capita income of $10,759.

I don't believe that the citizens of Webb county are willing to give up their guns....they were served notice last night that they are on their own....the federal troops required to protect the border will never arrive.

Notice it’s a DC case (which by default will apply to all the 50 states?)
