Since Ike threatened to arrest George Wallace, Governors have been a little timid about claiming State Sovereignty.
You are correct, but moral courage counts for a great deal.
It was hard for the South to summon a great deal of moral courage to defend the semi-apartied of “separate but equal”.
The moral outrage of Second Amendment supporters over the infringements in direct contradiction to the Constitution is very high, and has substantial support from a majority of the population.
This is not like trying to outlaw cigarettes, when only a tiny percentage of smokers were willing to make a moral case for their habit.
This is like trying to outlaw automobiles on the grounds that public transportation is safer and cheaper, only if the right to own and use automobiles was directly mentioned in the Constitution.
In this fight, the facts, the culture, and the Constitution are all on our side.
“”The nullification movement is now taking root among the right with passion,”
Since Ike threatened to arrest George Wallace, Governors have been a little timid about claiming State Sovereignty.”
George Wallace abundantly and almost inconsolably gave up at the last moment. His resistance was not true to the heart and over an issue with no noble backbone.
The difference today is that we can’t afford to surrender our gun rights and there is no Constitutional provision(such as the poorly written 14th amendment) to even suggest that we should have to.
We can and must make a stand on this issue. And when Washington sends its redcoats in to betray their oath and levy war upon the Constitution they swore to defend. We shall fight them with all the celverness and evasiveness at our disposal.
Knowing that Washington is a huge levigiant as incomplete and unwieldy as any. They shall not find much in the way of hidden status nor address much in the way of little problems.
Just refusal to submit can come not just from our state houses but from our people as well. Great patriots all across this land who say no to the final usurpation of their rights.
That my friend is our army of liberty!
