MACDONALD: Could One Convict End Federal Overreach?

One of the fun bits about Federalism is watching Democrats hate on it until they can’t stop tripping over each other to embrace it. A great recent example is illegal immigration. Arizona, feeling itself overrun by alien invaders, wanted to protect its citizens, but the Obama Administration got in the way. Immigration enforcement, the courts … Read more

Louisiana Follows Kansas On Federal Gun Law Nullification

Gun Rights prevent rape

Last month Kansas–those radical flatlanders–passed a bill that nullified a wide range of federal gun laws for weapons manufactured and sold within the state’s borders.  Holder and the gun ninnies were naturally put off by this.  (Feds no like when u nullify their unconstitutional power grabs.)

The Missouri House has also passed legislation to send a message to its governor that “…rejects all federal acts that infringe on a Missouri citizens’ rights under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

The message sent throughout the building was anger towards Governor Jay Nixon and the Department of Revenue.

House Bill 45 (HB45) would exempt firearms manufactured and remaining in the state of Louisiana from federal law, federal taxation or federal regulation, including registration.  It passed by a vote of 75-20.

Michael Ramirez illustrates graphically how one clause, … Read more

Guest Post- Richard Olson Jr.: “House Bill 125: Asserting The Tenth Amendment Rights”

House Bill 125-FN, commonly referred to as the, Lawful Commerce In Firearms Act eminently faces a house vote. Much has been said about the bill while, at the same time, much has not been said about this bill.

Simply stated, this bill exempts firearms, accessories and/or ammunition manufactured in New Hampshire, and remains in New Hampshire, from Federal Regulation under the National Firearms Act.

Similar to New Hampshire’s pending legislation, Eight other States (Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Tennessee, and Alaska) have already passed  a Firearms Freedoms Acts bill and twenty-one other states currently have active and pending legislation. Three states are proactively crafting FFA legislation.  

The New Hampshire version of the Firearms Freedom Act allows Granite-Staters to assume responsibility on a limited basis, the self-regulation as well as some freedom from the overly burdensome yolk of bureaucratic and restrictive federal firearms regulations.
