Kentucky Bill Would Nullify All Federal Gun Control

[Kurr]

The bill seeks to nullify all federal gun control measures on the books: past, present and future. It reads, in part:

The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky finds and declares that all federal acts, laws, orders, rules and regulations regarding firearms, present or future, are a violation of the sections and amendments to the Constitution of the United States specified in Section 1 of this Act and are:

(a) Invalid in this Commonwealth;

(b) Not recognized by the Commonwealth;

(c) Considered null and void by the Commonwealth; and

(d) Of no effect in this Commonwealth

I think that was decided already. In 1865.

Really kind of curious to see how many other states will follow suit!

 

[Goodcat]

The bill then would make NFA null and void in the state of Kentycky, if passed?

How so? Kentucky isn't proposing to secede (border state in the Civil War anyway).

I think he means 1816 with Martin v. Hunter's Lessee and the end of the Compact Theory (well, it is still evident among INGOers, but dead otherwise).

I think KY is a taker in the grand federal wealth redistribution scheme of things. It's blowing off steem. Beating one's boney chest. Barking at the wind.

Thought so.

When might elected lawmakers in this great state decide to take such a stand?

It hasn't happened to the states that have decriminalized marijuana.

With the Senate majority leader being from Kentucky, withholding money could be difficult.

Don't get me wrong; I think it's likely, because I don't believe that either party genuinely cares about the people. But I wouldn't consider it a foregone conclusion. Don't ever underestimate the Congress's ability to gridlock.

Heah, but no one really cares about MJ. McConnell will pee himself in confrontations with this administration just like he has in all the other confrontations.

Probably. But if there is one thing that a US Senator can be expected to care about, it's using the treasury to retain his position of power.

Well, I think this is just political posturing.

Now, if the Governor, Commander of the State Police and Sheriff's of the Commonwealth were to stand together and support this, going so far as to promise to arrest any federal officers or agents who attempt to enforce the laws they nullify. . .

Now THAT would get my interest.

Until then, I won't be holding my breath.

A gridlocked Congress isn't the worst thing that could happen to the people of the US.

Completely agree. I also like single malts.

[Shalashaska]

reminds me of the firearms freedoms bills that passed in several states around '10 that exempted all guns mad wholly instate with instate materials from federal regs. Sadly they were shot down.

 

[Dosproduction]

Well im all for each state defending the Constitution from the Federal Gov. And all for police enforcing it by arresting federal agents. With that said I have to agree with most on here that it is posturing and will go no where. If all the states started do this and then they all refused to have there native citizens federally taxed then we might have some teeth. Also I love when congress is gridlocked. The less they do the more free I am. I think mark twain said something along the lines that, "no freedom is safe while congress is in session"

 

[MinuteManMike]

Sounds like more posturing to me, too.

Which state was it that said "full auto rifles made in this state and kept therein are no subject to federal law"? Were any ever made or sold?
