“ if it is decided that this right should be terminated we can send in troops to seize the rebels' firearms."

This I have to see ...

I was just reading something about the ‘Dillon Rule’ and how it says the state has the legal power to force local governments to comply.

Anyone know about this?

Ah, so now Leftists don’t like sanctuary cities......

I think it would be better for all if it goes down like this...
1. Governor signs unconstitutional bills into law.
2. Governor mobilizes State National Guard and orders them to enforce unconstitutional law..
3. POTUS, immediately nationalizes the State National Guard thereby usurping authority from the Governor.
4. POTUS, belays the unconstitutional order.
5. POTUS, orders US Marshals to arrest the Governor in question.
6. Governor is tried, convicted, and imprisoned for felony violations.
7. State Supreme Court finds newly enacted gun laws to be unconstitutional and renders them invalid. If the State SC fails to do so then SCOTUS can do it.
8. Citizens recall legislators that enacted said unconstitutional laws.
9. POTUS, orders State National Guard to stand down.
10. National Guard’s entire rank and file get to go home and keep their retirement benefits without blood shed.

I see it everywhere, even on this site ... Our 2ND Amendment Rights!

The 2ND Amendment does not grant Rights to the people, (neither does any of the Constitution), the Constitution is a control on the government.

That's It!

Please people .. choose your words wisely because this nonsense has become mainstream!

In United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the Supreme Court ruled that, "The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.

The Second Amendments means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government."

Trump could end this with a flourish threat of the presidential pen.

All he has to do is call the entire Virginia Army National Guard to federal active duty. As state National Guard they are exempt from the terms of Posse Comitatus because they are a state actor. But when they are on federal active duty they are a reserve element of Big Army which makes them subject to Posse Comitatus, which forbids them for being used in a law enforcement role.

They don’t have to deploy to anywhere, just be federalized.
