There are several good things about this situation.

First, the patriotic Americans who are acting to preserve their God-given rights have both the 2nd and the 10th Amendments clearly on their side.

Second, they have a strong incentive to stand up for their rights because obama poses the greatest danger to freedom in the history of our country.

Finally, by protecting this one fundamental right, they will emphasize the limits to federal power over individuals and strengthen all of our fundamental rights.

I'll be cheering for the patriots every moment, even though the People's Republic in which I live is beyond their reach.

I love this two-pronged approach.

It’s not a far leap from “your federal gun laws do not apply in our state” to “your federal X laws, being outside of the authorization of Article I, Section 8, do not apply in our state”.

Then, when the feds withhold highway funds or some such, the state escrows federal taxes collected within the state.
