Again, makes me mighty proud to live in Kansas. Good job boys!
No, It's called the 10th Amendment to our Constitution, which says, that the Federal Government can not interfere with Laws or things relegated to individual States, which Eric Holder evidently doesn't care about.IE creating a de facto government inside the US other than the fed. Is this sedition?
There will always be someone willing to take the chance for Freedom's sake. Just like when NY passed the SAFE law there were people intentionally getting caught so the law could be challenged. Even with higher stakes for the NFA items I bet someone will toe the line.So Kansas is actually going to have to enforce the law by taking action against a Federal agent (i.e. an ATF agent raiding a Kansas maker of full autos)
but to do that the Federal officer is going to have actually make the raid.
but to do that, someone is going to have to go out there and make full autos in Kansas, being very carefull to make sure not one ounce of metal ever crossed the states borders..
Hmmm.... somehow I don't see a long line of Kansans queueing up to be the guinea pigs....
No party affected by the law, nobody has standing to challenge the law...
So, I'm having a hard time not seeing all of this as hot air and political theatre, on both sides of the issue... entertaining as it is.
Whereas the federal government has been willing to look the other way on MJ, they absolutely will not screw around when it comes to private machine gun manufacture. The powers within the ATF are utterly dedicated to preventing their proliferation among the plebians, and the powers that hold the leash of the ATF even more so. There will be zero tolerance of NFA violations.
We tried that kinda stuff here in South Carolina once ... didn't work out all that well.The Governor replied today: http://governor.ks.gov/media-room/m...kansans-hold-dear-the-right-to-keep-bear-arms
And so did the Secretary of State (Kansas): http://www.scribd.com/doc/139146961/Kansas-Secretary-of-State-Kobach-Responds-to-Eric-Holder
a few more states stand up for the constitution like this and maybe the current administration would get a hint........nah....never happen.
I would agree that it would be a great case for the Commerce Clause and the Tenth Amendmnt?This could shake out to be a great SCOTUS case.

The only way it doesn't is jury nullification (or outright revolution, which I hope we're still a long way from reaching). Even that still doesn't technically change things - just lets that particular person off the hook.someone tell me why that doesn't already decide this issue?
