Holder is a criminal who should be ignored by the States.
Confirming that Holder is a Black, Supremacist ....
Game on!
Haha, Holder has been neutered.
Like the song sorta says, "God bless, Kansas" (and Texas)!
I’m a graduate of KU. The liberals in lawrence are probably going nuts right now. Good.
Thank you, Kansans!
Hopefully more states will follow. If most states do this it will be much harder for the Supreme Court to turn it around.
Nothing's the matter,actually!
Holder cites the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which gives supremacy to federal laws over state laws. Kansas, however, is citing the Interstate Commerce Clause, “contending that Washington has no right to regulate guns that were made in Kansas and never cross state lines.”
If that doesn’t highlight some of the contradictions in the Constitution, I don’t know what does. Wouldn’t it be nice if we put in the bloody time to fix such things?
Excellent. Brownback needs to start making sure they have actual Kansas troops under state control, not federal control.
Kobach also wrote Arizona’s landmark SB1070. If he were Attorney General America could be saved.
How is this situation any different, in principle at least, from the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act and its demand that the Northern “Free Soiler” states return escaped slaves? The Act was part of the Compromise of 1850, if i remember correctly.
By telling Kansas they must obey federal gun laws, Holder is essentially saying that the states in 1850 who passed nullification laws to avoid the federal Fugitive Slave Act should have “followed federal laws” and returned his ancestors to their white slave owners.
I love irony.
First shot in the upcoming civil war will likely be in Kansas, it appears.
Kansas is so lucky to have Kris Kobach as our Secretary of State!
Looks like Kanas is on the list of states to move to escape Konnecticut.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Montana already had a law just like this?
Time to help Texas get in the game.
Time to make some noise and let the reps know we are watching.

Scroll down to page 2448 (no it is not really that big, its just the page numbering)
The donks are trying to zero out the funding for AG Greg Abbot to enforce it, as well as putting in DEA and other fed exemptions in the bill to make it meaningless.
Representative Neva´ rez offered the following amendment to HB i 1076 :
Amend HB 1076 (house committee report) on page 2 of the bill, between lines 7 and 8, by adding the following:
2448 83rd LEGISLATURE — REGULAR SESSION
(f)ii It is an exception to the application of this section that the person ’s seizure of a firearm was:
(1) iiinitiated by the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force overseen by the United States Department of Justice;
(2) iiinitiated by the Safe Streets Violent Crimes Initiative overseen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ; or
(3) iipart of a joint initiative between a federal law enforcement agency and any law enforcement agency of:
(A) ii this state; or
(B)iia political subdivision of this state.
This one was tabled. It must have been obvious what was going on.
The other "amendment" (nullification) via defunding was shot down. Representative Toth moved to table Amendment No. 2. The motion to table prevailed by (Record 550): 82 Yeas, 33 Nays, 2 Present, (0) not voting.
It came from yet another donk...
Full Name: Chris Turner
Birthdate: 10-10-1972
Hometown: Grand Prairie
Race: White
Occupation: Public Relations Consultant
Education: B.A., The University of Texas at Austin
Representative Toth moved to table Amendment No. 2.
Folks, this thing might not get through without some real support.
Do we want to join Kansas in standing up to the communist in the White House?
Or will we fail to uphold the proud history of Texas?
It is now out of committee and needs to be scheduled for a vote in the House.
one more time...
