Heard this on the news tonight.... Republican Steve stockmon of Texas is threatening to begin impeachment proceedings to stop the president. Representative of Texas Steve toff is filling legislation to protect the second amendment of the United States constitution. The firearms protection act would make federal law banning semi-automatic firearms Unenforceable within Texas boundaries.. I caught a chuckle hearing this so I figured I would share it with you all.

In case the states didn't know it ... federal laws supersede theirs.

I think when all the dust settles, the states that want gun control will have it and the states that don't will not.

The 10th amendment says that "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people".
If you argue that a federal law violates the U.S. constitution ... it is a matter that is settled in federal court and ultimately, the SC. So the 10th amendment is not applicable.

I have been doin some think the passt few days while im up here in the dc area pockn up the last helo for the dutch. Why not all those that are pro gun and think the current gov is outa control, contact every political officials in the state with a letter and email to voice your opinion/s in a tactfull manner. Iv been doing a draft to send them. If its done tactfully with no b!tchn, it would hav a better chance of getting viewed, even though the responce may or may not be the responce we r lookn for.
I got an email from john cornyns office about the fiscal cliff and cornyn says!! he is not happy with the way gov is doing thing and how its not fare to texans. I'll try n post an exert from cornyns responce bout the fiscal cliff.

The States must comply with laws passed by the US Congress only if the laws do not violate the United States Constitution. If the laws are unconstitutional the States are free to disregard them. If the States believe the laws are unconstitutional they do not have to wait for the Supreme Court to declare them unconstitutional |

That statement pretty well backs up what i just said. Powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution nor prohibited by the states. Bypassing proper legislation and implementation of laws largely controversial and in violation of the second amendment and opposed by the states seems to be pretty well covered that they have no authority to do so.

No sir, go read the Constitution. Any power not given in the Constitution goes to the States. The feds can't legally take it. |

When the states and feds disagree as to whether a federal law is legal or constitutional ... it is litigated in the federal courts, possibly up to the SC.

Restricting "arms" is legal. We have it today. The only issue is where do we draw the lines of what is constitutional and what is unconstitutional ... under the 2nd amendment. Ultimately, this is where the SC rules.

Its a illegal on the federal level yet its now legal in two states sounds like this is turning into another case of the laws apply when its convenient and is in line with whichever particular party agrees with the subject matter

I feel like if congress would listen to a couple hogdogers then there could be some positive changes made! I'm younger than most of you on here but between this forum and being in college I've got politics just about figured out...  |

If guns are the sole responcibility of gun deaths, then auto manufactuers should be held responcible for all auto deaths n there should b a ban put on automobiles. Go back to horse n buggy n c he how many yuppie are culled from society, and a human population balance would start.

That Sheriff Joe Arpaio in AZ told the Feds if they came and tried to do some thing... can't remember what... he would arrest them. They did not do it. Your local sheriff's have ALOT more power than most people realize. All it takes people to start calling the Fed Govt's bluff. They will back down or it will get nasty. |
