Yep. The states have no representation and the people have no control over the Senate. Since the 17th amendment, they are a rogue body of government, and answer to no one.

Well several states have now passed these things. Will be interesting to see when someone will start making firearms for sale only in the state of manufacture.
Only then will we know for sure how the federal courts will react to the Feds overstep of the Constitution.

They completely ignore the fact that the federal government claims that the “interstate commerce clause” is what gives them the power to regulate firearms and simply say, “Your law is void because we said so”.

Shoot, seat belt laws and all the other uniformity you find in the States in regard to transportation makes enumerated powers of the Federal Government a joke. They just use the Federal Income tax to suck dollars from the States, then demand adherence to certain guidelines in order for the States to receive back their sheckles. Pretty cool way to exert extra/constitutional powers on the States. They do that in a whole lot of ways. Federal Sheckles, rifled from the residents of the States are used to bludgeon the States into submission.

We've seen the BATF Gestapo in action before, backed by the likes of Erik Holder (Janet Reno's houseboy) and a libtard prezident.

Have the Tenessee county sherrifs arrest any ATF agents operating in their jurisdiction, and charge them with violating the Tenessee Firearms Freedom Act. Reference: The Sheriff: More Power Than The President

Well, what did you expect?

If the Fedgov allows the various anti ATF state laws to stand, then the authority of the Fedgov is at an end.

They will destroy the first target they can. So do not buy a non ATF compliant firearm, no matter what the state law says.

State's Rights effectively ended when Woodrow Wilson...

States don't have rights, only powers. People, and only people, have rights. But, otherwise, I agree. They act as if the "interstate commerce clause" negates the 10th amendment, even though amendment trump the main body of the Constitution, or earlier amendments, if there is a conflict. Not that there is. "Interstate commerce means buying, selling and shipping accross state lines. Nothing more. Manufacturing, growing, mining, etc, even for sale and shipment out of state, does not.

We had a governor who tried to go up against a bunch of gun toting Tennesseans once upon a time. The troops he sent showed up came and their commanding officer was promptly captured. This is about states rights as well as individual rights. Some federal agencies who believe they have authority to make up laws as they see fit need to be dis-banned shut down.
