More than one way to skin a commie - at the state level.

This is one of many reasons why I want to move to Alaska.

"The Alaska Misdemeanor charges for Class B also involve going to jail for about the period of six months or paying the equivalent amount of $1,000. this price can also be lesser depending on the particular offence committed."

The right to self defense in Alaska, on one's own property, against someone committing a crime is virtually unrestricted.

Come on up! :-)

Between this and the pot issue, we may just fix our fed govt problem!

It has to be passed, then it has to stand up to the “sure-thing” decision that it is “unconstitutional.”

We are long past using law to stop oppression.

[SENTINEL]

I agree with you, but it is good to see some legislative push-back.

How quick will this go through? I'm sure Parnell will sign??

In the past there have been fed regulations that Parnell has refused to enforce.

Parnell has always been bought & Paid for by Big OIl, but ya have to support Parnell because he does do the right thing on many issues.

Out here in the rural areas, everybody has & hunts with old military rifles. Nothing better than the 6.8 around my neck on a 2 point cross country on the snowmachine.

Two reasons why Alaskans need their guns:

And when Holder declares that anybody involved will be charged for obstruction of justice, and hauled away by federal marshals?

Will other states be protected by the EQUAL PROTECTION clause ?

Will other states be protected against a ban by the EQUAL PROTECTION clause ?

I want to see lawmakers have the guts to call Obama out for not enforcing immigration law and supporting “sanctuary cities” if he tries to get tough about this. At least we have the Constitution on our side, his non-enforcement of immigration law doesn’t. In fact, it would be great if we started talking about “sanctuary states” for supporters of the Second Aendment.

Could get very interesting very quickly.

You mean by 1 or 2 of the less than 15 or 20 US Marshal's in the whole state of Alaska? The US Marshal Service isn't an army, there's less than 4,000 in the whole US and territories and I'm going to bet 99% of them are going to be in the lower 48 busier with other crap to do.

It's the same as local police trying to enforce unconstitutional laws.....if they try, it's going to get their already small numbers even smaller.

Put another way, how many local law enforcement officials would be willing to arrest a federal officer, knowing that laying hands on him subjects them to between 8 and 20 years in federal prison under 18 USC 111?

I have already lost count on how many states have done this, how many have introduced bills, etc. It is happening fast, however. The reaction time of Republican legislatures and governors is getting very fast.
