GOP Rep. Introduces Legislation to Nullify State-Level Gun Controls

The common negative response to this congressional bill is you would prefer that nothing is done because if the democrats gain control of all three branches of government than they will either pass laws that gut the second amendment through congress or due away with it all together. This did not happen under Obama, but under Clinton the assault weapons ban became law and then sunsetted and was not reauthorized. But laws have happened and will occur again and again. If you rely on the Supreme Court, it took over 75 years to allow handguns in Maryland before Hellar. The SCOTUS is the only check and balance to runaway legislature and even that is not working. The elites know if they ever tried to take away guns nobody is going to listen or comply and CW2 begins. So instead our rights are gutted one law at a time at the state and local level and you either ignore them and face criminal charges or wait a lifetime for the court to finally act at the highest level and even than they may play politics against liberty and history and still get it wrong.

Again, what if your state did this:

• AR pattern rifles may not have a standard bird cage flash hider/muzzle brake, no pistol grip, no magazine release and it must be fixed, no more than 10 round magazines allowed.

• No .50 BMG rifles unless you purchased one before the deadline and registered it with the State.

• Not a single new pistol is sold in your state because a firing pin microstamp is required, loaded chamber indicator is required, and many other features deemed required by the Department of Justice and not one manufacture complies so no guns are coming in legally.

• No open carry and most of the counties do not allow concealed carry so you cannot carry a weapon ever.

• No mail order ammo to your home. Must have a Department of Justice (DOJ) card approved to buy ammo and pay $5 for every transaction or have your ammo mailed to an approved DOJ licensed dealer who charges another fee.

• No silencers or suppressors allowed. • Only one gun purchase a month.

• Must have a gun safe or lock if any child under 18 is in your home. No loaded guns ready for use in this case or you are violating the law in your own home while taking measures to defend your children living there.

• Countless more regulations and edicts and laws so many to name and detail it would make your forefathers heads spin.

• Welcome to California and other states like it!

Many of us already live in the place you fear could happen. You to someday likely will face this future unless we change the courts and pass federal laws to stop the culture of destruction of the second amendment and I welcome any relief at any level because right now Russians have more gun rights in their country than I have in California. I welcome any help from any direction because every other branch of government has already failed. I am a life member of the NRA, but even they could not fight the democrats and failing courts of California. Pass this law and begin somewhere and don’t make me wait until I am in my grave to see the courts make changes and I could care less if you are worried you might end up living under a federal law like the ones listed above we are already living under in my state.

That’s part of the issue that the states went backwards from the time of the Framers to where too many of them are today as is the case here in the People’s Republic of New York. Far easier to see how the federal government would grow into the leviathan but not how the states would race it to get there first locally.

[rarestia]

Prove to me they are not still in charge?

I didn't say it, but I was thinking it. All the more reason this legislation should fail.

IMO McCain won’t be a problem for too long. Governor will appoint a real Republican.

Amen

Libtards will now rediscover the 10th Amendment.

The Sullivan Act has been screwing citizens on their 2nd Amendment rights since it was enacted.

It has withstood scrutiny at several levels and is the most draconian piece of legislature ever enacted against said rights.

This type of bill would, effectively, render the Sullivan Act null and void, once and for all.

It will NOT go easy.

In fact, if Yertle even allows it to be presented, I will be very surprised.

The New York courts/justice system has a history of affirming that the 2A does not effect the Act.

It is firmly entrenched and it covers nearly everything, up to and including "dangerous knives"...if any one can define that, since all knives, having a sharpened blade, are inherently dangerous.

(As is a hammer, a screwdriver, a rock...well, you get the picture.)

I don't have hopes of this going anywhere.

Yertle will be lobbied heavily...and for that matter, much of the Rep's...Ryan included, will be heavily lobbied over this.

The Sullivan Act is not going away.

Why this? Democrats designed the path to national carry with homo marriage. Once Massachusetts legalized homo marriage, they sued in various states to force every other state to recognize the legal classification they created. The Courts bought that line. Guns are NO different.

What about Maryland?
That pop tart gun was shaped like the state of Maryland.
If the pop tart gun is a problem, so is the boundary of Maryland.
