As Democratic lawmakers in Virginia chip away at commonwealth residents' firearms rights, one bill in a Southern state seeks to undo the damage and form a pro-Second Amendment bulwark across the south.
Mississippi House Bill 753, sponsored by seven Republicans in the state Legislature, was introduced Monday.
The bill aims to establish an interstate compact to circumvent certain federal gun laws by establishing a regional power dedicated to the defense of the Second Amendment.
Part of the legislation's intended purpose is to exempt certain firearms, accessories and ammunition from overreaching federal regulation.
The bill doesn't stop there, promising to "declare certain federal statutes, regulations, rules, and orders unconstitutional under the Constitution of the United States and unenforceable in this compact region."
Although the same idea of an interstate compact is being used to usurp the nation's Electoral College by left-leaning states, this is seemingly the first instance the tactic has been used in defense of gun rights.
Federal regulations that would be rendered unenforceable in the compact include those "banning or restricting ownership of a semiautomatic firearm or a magazine of a firearm" and any order "requiring a firearm, magazine, or other firearm accessory to be registered."
Along with the bill's home of Mississippi, the other eight states invited to the proposed compact are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia.
A compact of this size would have substantial power, putting a major check on the regulatory power of Washington, D.C.
If this movement is implemented in all of these states, the Second Amendment sanctuary would stretch from the Oklahoma panhandle to the Georgia coast.
The bill requires six of the listed states to approve the measure for the interstate compact to become a reality.

Texas?
Gregg? Ken? How about it?
.
The Tenth Amendment must be dusted off and revived. There is no authorization in the Constitution allowing the federal government to regulate firearms.
Missouri?
I see in yesterday’s news Greitens has been cleared.
Ironic how Josh Hawley (who went early and hard rabidly after Greitens) has his own political hit from the D corrupt state auditor who wants to be governor.
Somebody needs to light a fire under our (Fudd?) governor an the new female R party chair (who abandoned her state district 99 and let it go to a Soros leftist).
Just sayin'.
Actually, the second amendment explicitly states that they cannot.
The Democrats can propose all the gun bands they want but the bottom line is how are you going to take weapons away from gun owners?
No cop in his right mind is ever going to try to do that
So then who are we left with Democrat politicians? Ha ha Ha ha ha
Virginia doesn’t know it yet, but it has an appointment with the SCOTUS, and the diagnosis is not going it’s way.
Regional, contiguous states. Very important.
“..As gun rights die in Virginia,...”
If our “gun rights” can “die”, then they aren’t rights.
You have those guns FOR THIS REASON, THIS DAY, THIS TIME.
Refuse to comply, make THEM react, and act accordingly.
“..No cop in his right mind is ever going to try to do that...”
Oh, there’s some that most definitely will.
They’ll pick some poor guy to make an example of, have their media buddies spread the appropriate cover story that he was “white supremacist”, or he had “an arsenal”, or some other bullsh*t made-up threat, and Red Flag him in an extreme way.
I’m in favor of states rights to defend the 2nd Amendment and all but with one SCOTUS ruling the will of the people will be swept aside. See homosexual marriage.
Our best hope is to get the President a 2nd term, keep McConnell in charge of a Republican congress and keep appointing judges who support the constitution.
It wouldn’t hurt to teach kids and non-shooters the joy of hunting and target shooting.
Here’s hoping any Virginia county west of I-81 joins West Virginia.
bttt
Oklahoma will be, county-by-county, a 2nd Amendment sanctuary state!
