Alright, this is where we collect a list of states that have preexisting, pending, or no, legislation to block the federal government from interfering with the second amendment inside their borders. I will keep a running list of the states that have such legislation and update the map accordingly as I see the bills. Please post links to relevant information for each state, preferably the text of the legal document. Some of the links below are just news stories, if you guys can come up with links to the document texts that would be great. Drop your posts below and I'll keep this updated. Lines in the sand people, let's see who has them and who doesn't.

Also, post links to you "kindly fuck off" letters from governors, sheriffs, etc. and I'll add them below the links.

Not a state, but another story of a sheriff recommending refusal.  Obviously, I'm sure the state legislature will comment at some point ...

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

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.

It's outrageously absurd that an UNconstitutional law needs to be fought at all. 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."

I wouldn't hold out much hope for the MI legislature. 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.

Maybe.  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.

That's becuase the ATF would pull their FFL if they did.  And then if they sold firearms, they could be subject to prosecution.  And frankly, it would not end well for the dealer.
