I emailed my reps in my state. I emailed them the text of the Wyoming/Missouri bill.

Considering we just changed our Constitution in favor of the 2nd, I'm hoping we have something in the works too.

Added, thanks! |

Great idea. Thank goodness I'm moving soon to one of these states.
Not a state, but another story of a sheriff recommending refusal. Obviously, I'm sure the state legislature will comment at some point ... Oregon Sheriff |

MD is already on their knees trying to satisfy our overlords with a better gun control plan then NY. So, just put a big X over MD. It's already a done deal. They will never tell the fedgov to FO.

Who do you contact for support - the governor? The state attorney general?

Who do you contact for support - the governor? The state attorney general? You should have two reps at the state level, one for your state senate and one for your lower house, whatever its called in FL. I would start with them |
|
Can I suggest that you put an opposing color on the States that have legislation pending/passed for Gun Control?
NY - Passed MD - Pending This will create a scorecard of sorts. |

You guys have to read up on nullification. None of these laws will hold even a little water.

I wrote my reps in Fl but they're going to hear from me every week until this shit is resolved. Man I've written more to politicians this week than I've written in my entire life.

Just make sure you're expending your effort on something that will matter. These laws will ceumble, the first time they are challenged in court. See Cooper v. Aaron. |

Utah! That's why I moved here from San Francisco when the city banned handgun ownership.

While I completely agree that these are symbolic at least we can keep track of who is willing to stand up and be counted. At a minimum they are getting their voices heard and if enough voices get heard it could possibly affect change. |

I don't want to have to move from VA just yet.. but if they don't pass something to resist than I will use this map as my travel guide.

I think the benefit of these laws will be that it'll get these unconstitutional executive orders scrutinized by courts. Perhaps, but it would be ineffective. In any court case on these laws, the ONLY issue considered would be whether the state law itself were Constitutional. They CLEARLY violate Article VI. You could argue that they don;t violate Article VI becuase they are directed at UNconstitutional laws, but the court will laugh at that, pointing to a MOUNTAIN of case history that says that determining the Constitutionality of a Federal law lay not with the states, bu with teh Federal courts. State law thrown out. MONTHS of wasted effort. It's ironic that so many want to fight Unconsitutional laws with, wait for it.... Unconstitutional laws. |

Florida needs to get their head out of their ass and get going on this.
|
|
And the .Fed will do what it always does.....hold federal funds for roads, housing and disaster relief.

I was worried mo was going to bend over and take it. Maybe I lost faith in my states politics to soon.

One of the proposed TN laws states that no state or local funds can be used to enforced fed law. Nothing unconstitutional about that.

The opposing voice ought to be able to stand behind a microphone and fart for 20 seconds and still win that fight. The argument ought not require anything more than something similar to Joe Pesci's line in My Cousin Vinny, "everything that guy said is bullshit, thank you." |

IMO it has too many pussies/rinos/fencesitters and politicicians who say one thing and do another. MI needs to get rid of an over abundance of libtards from both sides of the isle at the Capitol and get someone like the curent AG to run for Gov. next time around. Snyder, the current Gov. gets a lot of bad advice/info about guns and the Second and buys it. |

TN's ahead of the curve. In 2009 we passed a Firearms Freedom Act, exempting weapons made in-state from Federal regulation as long as they stayed inside the state. The ATF quickly sent out letters to FFL holders telling them to ignore that law. As far as I know, no one has pushed that issue.

It doesn't prevent the Feds from doing a damned thing. |

But apparently there are some people who don;t agree with that opinion, And that's what courts are for. Make your argument in COURT and get the Court to agree with you and THEN you've done something constructive. This is meaningless chest thumping. |

And then if they sold firearms, they could be subject to prosecution. And frankly, it would not end well for the dealer. |

Florida's legislature only meets for 60 days starting in March.
Although with our governor's dislike of the Fed, I would expect there to be something similar coming. |
