More Than A Dozen States Are Trying To Nullify Federal Gun Control

With President Joe Biden issuing a flurry of executive actions last week to strengthen federal gun laws, state representatives across the country are working in the opposite direction, taking a page from the playbook of immigration activists by advancing legislation that would make their enforcement illegal. On April 6, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, a Republican, signed the first gun control nullification bill into law.

"Nullifying unconstitutional, federal laws is both legal and it's also the right thing to do," says Anthony Sabatini, a Republican lawmaker and member of the Florida House of Representatives. "It's silly to sit around and wait for something you know is unconstitutional," he tells Reason. "It's time to stand up and fight back. And the methods that we need to use are the ones already being used by the left."

In 1987, Oregon passed a law prohibiting state and local law enforcement from using public resources to arrest or detain people whose only crime was being in the country illegally. Since then, hundreds of other jurisdictions have passed similar laws, becoming so-called sanctuary cities.



Good. I hope they are able to do this. If it is perfectly acceptable for the Left to do than this is funtastically perfect for the rest of the world.

More than a dozen states are wrong; they’re being ridiculous and idiotic.

But of course the states ignoring immigration law are ok right you liberal asshole?

This is more legal than merely grandstanding:

The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.


The individual right of self defense and defense of one's home is of the highest priority of all, well beyond the defense and protection of the state or country.
Any level of government that infringes upon those individual rights is null and void legally.
Governments have no justification for existing unless they enhance or defend individual rights.

Natural rights are recognized and secured in State Constitutions and available via due process in federal venues.

Why do Republicans insist on shoving policy down the throats of the American people, that the people DO NOT WANT?

80% of the American people want sensible gun laws, background checks, and a ban on AR-style large magazine weapons. As the death toll rises every year, more and more Americans are demanding these things, and as always, Republicans are pandering to the NRA. Why?

The NRA are bankrupt, their leadership having stolen all of their money, just like Trump is demanding all Republican donations go to him and not the RNC. They've got nothing left to offer you.

I'm a liberal. I'm not a Republican. I'm not even a Democrat. I can see that you are confused. B**** just kicked out another round of executive orders as a knee jerk reaction. Let that sink in.

A knee jerk reaction to what? He may have missed some of the extra-Constitutional executive orders Your guy enacted.

Why? Because they are clearly being led by people who stand for states’ rights? Executive orders that mirror failed, anti gun-regulated locales like Baltimore and Chicago are going to be pushed back by the states.

“Legal to the law”? Rain is wet. Who are the political hypocrites? The Liberal elite hates the notion of common people owning a gun yet welcome the protection of a firearm because they believe that their lives are more important.

The method historically entailed not having a party filibuster with impunity.

Of course, but federal gun laws, like prohibiting ex-felons from self defense weapons, are strictly illegal because they violate these basic rights and division of authority between individual/local/state, and federal.
States can pass reasonable gun laws, but feds are strictly and completely barred from any weapons laws not only because of the 2nd amendment, but because it would be a contradiction for the US military to have weapons that were illegal to others. The federal government is not to be superior to any other class of people.
Government is OF the people, not OVER the people.

More than a dozen states are wrong; they’re being ridiculous and idiotic.

But of course the states ignoring immigration law are ok right you liberal asshole?

Only ignorant right wingers who don't even understand our Constitution say that. Show us the express Clause over the whole and entire concept of Immigration in our federal Constitution or stop lying.


The precedent is Europeans forced their immigration, so then it is hypocrisy and irony to try to deny native immigration from south of the border.
Not only is there nothing in the Constitution to authorize immigration restriction, but the many treaties the US signed to acquire CA, AZ, UT, NV, NM, TX, FL, etc., prohibit any transportation roadblocks.
