Spent four years living in Casper. God’s country. And gun country! With a proposed new Federal law to ban certain types of weapons, I joined and bought a few - ‘Course if they come looking for them they’ll realize I lost them somewhere along the way.

Town of 50,000 then. Everyone had guns, lots of them. Yet there was only one murder in the four years I was there - a non-local, illegal I think, broke into the home of an 86 year old woman, raped her and killed her with a knife.

Multiply the population by the number of guns and their frequent presence and use, and multiply that by that four year murder statistic, and I think it presents a great argument against gun control.

Thanks for doing the research. It’s clearly a false quote, and you saved me some time...

God I love Wyoming. We used to go there every summer for 10 years straight for vacation when I lived behind enemy lines in WA state. It was go good to go be with real people.

AR-15 Armed American: 15-year-old uses dad’s AR to defend self, 12YO sister
January 11, 2013

In Texas, a 15-year-old uses his dad’s AR-15 to defend himself, his 12-year-old sister and the family home against a pair of home invaders.

The AR-15 is America’s favorite rifle.

>>RE :”Any state can easily tell the Supreme Court to take a hike. If they nullify a Federal law the Supremes can't do anything about it. They have no enforcement authority”
>
>Your point was that if Brewer had defied the SCOTUS decision on AZ immigration law it would be up to justice to enforce it somehow?

There is one simple way which AZ could defy the FedGov -- declare a state of invasion and militarily (i.e. shoot to kill) shut down border crossings. Further, demand the FedGov assist (Art 4, Sec 4, US Constitution).

That is most excellent info in a state where (Dem governor, two Dem senators) good news has been in short supply.

Thanks for the legwork and the good word.

(do you have a connection to Montana?)

Then O declares martial law in AZ, sends in the National guard from other states I assume and takes over?

Wyoming lawmakers have proposed a new bill that, if passed, would nullify any federal restrictions on guns, threatening to jail federal agents attempting to confiscate guns, ammunition magazines or ammunition.

A good law aimed at protecting the lives of federal agents.

That's one reaction -- and it would mean that he would be blatantly ignoring US Constitution, Art 4, Sec 4 -- but how many States would join w/ AZ? And, indeed, is not the waging of war on the States the very definition of Treason laid out by the Constitution?

The States, in that case, could indict Obama (and supporters) w/ Treason -- and, furthermore, it would mean the Fed were the undeniable aggressor in the Second American Civil War: The War of Federal Aggression.

“...This is flat out stupid.”

I disagree. Nullification of most things federal these days is the only chance that I see we even have of getting our country to resemble the Constitution again. We need more red state governments to take this course. State Rights need to be reestablished with a vengence. The feds are way out of bounds and over the lines, and our national voting channels have become hostage to manipulation and thus nullified. If we think we can vote our way back on a national scale we are seriously kidding ourselves. I’m very curious to see how Gov. Mead reacts to this.

Now our state DEQ on the other hand... I think we import those fruitcakes right off the bus from Biodiversity and Berkley!

He’s not a dumb Republican silly. He doesnt broadcast his real plans so boldly unless public approval is with those plans, unlike many Republicans who go to kick Lucy's football over and over.
In those cases he says one thing and does another. He lies and says he is the only honest one at the table,.

Your scenareo had AZ declaring the state invaded and demanding further assistance. His assistance would be declaring martial law and putting its citizens under Federal protective custody.

By the time other states realized what happened it will be over, much like Republicans ‘after the fact’ reactions to O.
