Just an opinion, not being a lawyer and all that but:

1. The Constitution prohibits the Government from doing what some of these States have recently done.

2. States whose politicians have openly conspired to violate the civil rights of their citizens under color of authority are now States being run by outlaws.

3. Citizens need not obey the anti-gun laws that have been enacted.

4. Law enforcement officers need not enforce the laws.

5. District Attorneys need not prosecute people arrested for violations of these laws.

6. Citizens who serve on juries have a DUTY to NULLIFY these laws with consistent NOT GUILTY verdicts.

7. Citizens have a DUTY to remove from political office ALL persons who have voted for these laws, and all other persons from public office or public employment who enforce these laws.

I coined the term "totalitarian anarchy" to refer to government in which those in power claim unlimited authority, but are not themselves bound the rule of law. Someone else suggested using "feudalism" instead; I'm not familiar enough with how things actually worked in feudal societies to know whether that's accurate or not.

“The Constitution prohibits the Government from doing what some of these States have recently done.”

Doesn’t the Constitution prevent CONGRESS for doing what these States have done?

And doesn’t the 10th Amendment give States the power not specifically delegated to Congress?

I agree with you generally, but am a little confused.

Maybe a knowledgable 10th Amendment supporter can explain why the 10th Amendment doesn’t apply to the States on the issue of gun “control”.
