Even if the STATE OF UTAH signs this bill into law, the Federal government will retain the power to enforce the Federal regulations which UTAH seeks to nullify because THE UNITED STATES has jurisdiction over all of its statutory citizens regardless of where they may reside. So, those claiming to be statutory citizens of the United States, such as those having and using a Social Security number or those having trade or business effectively connected with The United States remain under the jurisdiction of The United States regardless of where they may reside. No state law can override a federal law’s jurisdiction over a statutorily founded citizen of The United States. Were one to be a citizen of Utah and one without trade or business in the United States, they ought to prevail against The United States attempts to enforce Federal law over them if the court follows the constitution and so long as that man or woman does not reside in a Federal territory or State of the United States ( of which the fifty Union states are not a part) or in Washington D.C.

So, operationally, this statute of THE STATE OF UTAH, I believe, is not a sustainable defense in a Federal action brought against a statutory citizen of The United States who resides in Utah.

As for the government “taking our rights”. That is an impossibility and to attempt to do so is a criminal act. Gun regulations enforced on statutory citizens of The United States (read as: voluntary slaves) may be as oppressive or exclusionary as congress deems appropriate, and for no cause needing to be stated. Statutory citizens of the United States have no rights which they may exercise against the dominion of congressional legislation. Only Union state citizens who are without trade or business in the United States and are domiciled outside of the lands over which Congress has jurisdiction may exercise constitutionally protected rights.

@Gabriel Alan King While I sympathize with your ideals and sentiment I think we are going at this the wrong way. I may be wrong but I think it would be much more effective if we, the states, would direct their citizens to pay any and all taxes they owe to the states as well as the fed directly to the state. The states then could send along that portion they believe is owed along to the feds. The state legislatures could balance their own budgets and starve the feds at the same time. There isn’t anything that the feds could do about it in that they couldn’t make war on all the independent states.

lr3031 TenthAmendment It’s a sad day when states have to pass laws to preserve anything in the constitution. On the other hand, go UT!
