Developing a State and Local Strategy to Address Rendition and Torture
Today, in the shadows of a pro gun-rights rally at the state capitol, the Missouri House voted to approve House Bill 436 (HB436), the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, by a strong veto-proof majority.
Earlier this week, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed into law what many are calling the strongest state-level protection against federal infringements on the 2nd Amendment in the country. But that title might be short-lived, as Missouri’s HB436 (and the companion bill, SB325) up the ante.
The bill, which passed by a vote of 115-42, would nullify virtually all federal gun control measures on the books – “past, present, or future.” It reads, in part:
All federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution shall be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, shall be specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state.
(2) Such federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations include, but are not limited to:
(a) The provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1934;
(b) The provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968;
(c) Any tax, levy, fee, or stamp imposed on firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition not common to all other goods and services which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;
(d) Any registering or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;
(e) Any registering or tracking of the owners of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;
(f) Any act forbidding the possession, ownership, or use or transfer of any type of firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition by law-abiding citizens; and
(g) Any act ordering the confiscation of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition from law-abiding citizens.
Ron Calzone of Missouri First, one of the leading state-level organizations supporting the effort, summed it up. He said, “This is the full-blown nullification of all federal firearms laws which are inherently unconstitutional. This will be the strongest defense of the Second Amendment in the country.”
Just a short time before the House vote, a rally of hundreds of people in support of the right to keep and bear arms was held inside the capitol. A number of people were holding signs in support of the legislation, and the companion bill.
That companion bill, SB325 introduced by State Senator Brian Nieves, has already passed the General laws committee in the Senate and will go through a similar process there. Moving both bills simultaneously is an excellent strategy towards passage into law as it will help fast track the measures to the Governor’s desk with enough time on the calendar to override his veto. Inside sources say if the committee move the bill forward quickly, a veto-proof majority is attainable with strong grassroots support.

Good for Missouri.
Now if only the gave a crap about the OTHER nine Amendments.
Well done MO
Of course some clown, in Missouri, “accidentally” gave Homeland Security a list of all of the people who have concealed carry permits, two weeks ago. This is why I have been hesitant to get a concealed carry permit, the more information any government agency gets their hands on the more likely they are to use it against you.
WHO SAYS!
The Fed. Gov. will meet plenty of opposition if and when they decide to attack our Right to bear Arms here in Missouri.
Bryan Hyatt, You need to do your homework, unless your a democrate,then you already think we have a democracy. Yup,the fed’s do pray on those who don’t know.
born and raised in missouri…
The Constitution trumps all!
Hope all 49 other states do this to.
Um last time I checked a state cannot override a federal law. So what happens? MO tax payers get their tax dollars burned up trying to fight something they won’t win. Same kind of dumb stuff happens in Utard. MO, and every other state, would have been better served by their representatives before it gets to this.
I see one potential problem; define law abiding.
may want to move there
Idk….that’s wierd lol Morgan Rice….?
Tha fuck?
Did you just say who too? Lmfao Morgan Rice
Who?
I am against gun control expansion but 3 words: National Supremacy Clause. (When a federal law conflicts with a state law, the state law is invalid).
I guess they showed you Obama.
When we realize we are the government and have the power stop them and make our lives easier without a stupid rich politician telling us what and what not we are, can, see, do, be or how to, we will be better!
But they make you wear a helmet.
Best state yet, on this issue…
TheCommerce Clause trumps all. You cannot insulate yourselves from Federal authority/laws with these kinds of flimsy attempts at nullification. More waste of state funds.
Why can’t our politicians be more like our southern neighbors. Good common sense is all that is required in this debate. Carry your gun to a gun fight and leave your clubs, knives, and swords at home.
Go maybe some more states will follow.
NicksNTricks haha but you’ll never live in Missouri
halerzzz14 🙁
NicksNTricks good. Idaho would be better. Silencers and full auto legal. Gemtech is HQd there.
jeffengles NicksNTricks In Texas too.
TurdJerguson jeffengles I mean, if I were 21 I could get NFA items here in WV if my CLEO allowed it.
NicksNTricks TurdJerguson they have to allow it. Range safety, hearing loss, etc.
jeffengles according to Wikipedia, you still need to go through ATF bullshit
NicksNTricks $200 tax stamp, fingerprints, passport photo. But you get to have bad ass shit. Look at all the shit FreeJesseJames has.
jeffengles I believe in Missouri if their bill passes and if the ATF doesn’t invade you wouldn’t need any rigamarole.
NicksNTricks jeffengles I don’t think Missouri can nullify the federal laws.
TurdJerguson jeffengles they’re citing Prigg v. Pennsylvania I believe.
NicksNTricks huh. Think its part of the NFA act of 1934 that you have to go thru all that BS. Idk.
TurdJerguson jeffengles b/c the federal laws are unconstitutional.
jeffengles it is, but Missouri wants to nullify 1934, Brady Bill, and the other Gun Control act b/c they infringe upon the 2nd amendment
NicksNTricks jeffengles That case was a Pennsylvania law contradicted federal.
NicksNTricks sweet
TurdJerguson jeffengles then idk, I just thought I saw that somewhere in the article. Idk how that decision is constitutional.
NicksNTricks jeffengles And it was about fugitive slaves.
TurdJerguson jeffengles yeah but slaves were property as fucked up as it is to say
NicksNTricks jeffengles I’m just sayin it’s an out dated case. There’s no way the court would accept that as a precedent. IMO
TurdJerguson jeffengles I may have been wrong, thought I saw that. Imo second and tenth amendments are enough
NicksNTricks jeffengles Firearms can be regulated under the interstate commerce clause. But to what extent is the question.
TurdJerguson jeffengles isn’t that infringing?
NicksNTricks jeffengles Infringing would be denying someone a firearm for no reason. I.e not a felon etc
TurdJerguson jeffengles doesn’t the NFA do that?
NicksNTricks jeffengles It doesn’t deny you the ability to get a firearm, just what type.
TurdJerguson jeffengles it dictates what kinds you can or can’t have. That’s infringey
NicksNTricks jeffengles SCOTUS already said 2nd amendment isn’t unlimited. NFA didn’t ban militia type weapons in common use.
TurdJerguson jeffengles they’re only not in common civilian usage because of the NFA.
NicksNTricks jeffengles The good news is, SCOTUS has officially defined the 2nd as an individual right.
NicksNTricks jeffengles You can get automatic weapons though. It’s just regulated.
TurdJerguson jeffengles well I can’t get them. Have to be 21 for NFA items. Which is silly
NicksNTricks jeffengles I don’t think it’s silly.
NicksNTricks TurdJerguson different states deny full auto weapons. 10th amnd. But not infringing on to own a gun. Sawed off shottys also
TurdJerguson jeffengles I can die fighting for this country but I can’t drink beer and own an SBR… it’s idiotic
NicksNTricks jeffengles There’s a big diff in being 18 and under strict training in the military than in your backyard.
NicksNTricks TurdJerguson I can do all that and smoke weed, but no SBR or full auto in Washington State. Full auto is over rated tho.
TurdJerguson jeffengles I’m not disagreeing with that. But the concept that three years makes a difference for some rights is stupid
jeffengles TurdJerguson I’d like SBR/SBS someday and suppressors are cool. But 21 seems arbitrary when you become a a citizen at 18
NicksNTricks TurdJerguson some 18-21 yr olds are too immature. But hell so am I at times. Pistols are 21 in WA St.
jeffengles TurdJerguson same with wv. Sucks
NicksNTricks jeffengles Every 19 year old thinks their mature enough for everything.
TurdJerguson jeffengles what’s the real difference between me owning an AR with a 16 inch vs a 12 inch barrel?
NicksNTricks jeffengles Idk man, just relax and be patient.
NicksNTricks TurdJerguson concealment.
TurdJerguson jeffengles I’m not buy relaxed,I just don’t understand the arbitrary laws
Chris, as noted, it is the SECOND AMENDMENT PRESERVATION ACT, as that is the part of the Constitution that is being infringed when they (Feds) have no Constitutional authority to do so… Once this is sorted out, then we can work on reigning in the Feds overreaching actions on other parts of the Constitution. It took time to get here, it will take time to clear it up!
Alriight!
David Cruts
Guess they’re “showing em!” Hot Damn!
I’m sending this to all our state politions in texas this needs to be in place in all the states in the FREE UNITED STATES of AMERICIA !!!!
I live in Missouri. Those of you who support freedom and personal responsibility are more than welcome here. Benefit sucking parasites, move along please. We don’t need more of your kind.
Now the Missouri Senate needs to pass it.
The SCOTUS is not the supreme arbiter despite their assertion that they are. WE are. Federally appointed judges deciding that they federal government has ever increasing power? Nullification goes back to the idea that the Constitution is a contract between the states and the new federal government that they created. Jefferson himself spoke of the power of the states to nullify unconstitutional laws to keep the federal government from usurping more power.
Serious inquiries only!!!!! if anyone is interested in a great paying, prov-en work from home opportunity. I work for a company (MCA) that offers great benefits and great pay every Friday!!!

Great – now all Missourians look like complete idiots. 🙁
Way to go Missouri
It has limits, just like any federal power should.
Supremacy clause does not trump the bill of rights.
this sucks, just leave the union please
Yes and no Landon. Medical cannabis laws are state and federally regulated. Some states will allow you to grow. But at any point, the federal government can come and take your cannabis, arrest you, and imprison you. Even if you have a valid license to grow. Now guns aren’t weed but federal laws do in fact trump state laws.
If you don’t believe me just ask Missouri
Dude, your are seriously confused… State trumps Fed. County trumps state. Fed’s can pass anything they want… The state doesnt have to abide.
This decision of 1842 seems pretty conclusive: The ruling upheld the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution in which federal laws take precedence over state laws when.
That is our elected officials talking about protecting the constitution and pissing on it all in the same action.
Any law that infringes on Any Amendment would be a good start.
This issue will be decided by the Supreme Court…not Missouri lawmakers. I live in Missouri and this was a huge waste of our taxpayer dollars just as the lawsuit versus Obamacare was. If you’re wondering where the SCOTUS stands on this you might google Antonin Scalia and see what his take on the 2nd Amendment is all about. In short, he believes there ARE limitations to the 2nd Amendment just as there are limitations to the 1st (you can’t scream fire in a crowded movie theatre or mention a bomb at airports). If Scalia believes there are limitations, you can bet the decision will not go well for all of the “pry it from my cold dead hand types”. And this legislation will mean absolutely NOTHING!!!
Good luck with all that, the Supreme Court has shot down this kind of crap in the past, nothing but a waste of time and money to appease the right wing rubes…
Good for them
Well amy you wont think so when u need help
I love my state way to go
So if they’re not enforcing any federal laws – are they giving up federal support – no highway funds, no tax funds, no social security, no medicare, no education, et al…..
Way to go Missouri, good old state rights.
Great : )))
Dumbest amendment EVER.
Sooo NFA items are good to go in MO now?
Correction. WILL be good to go if this is law
Sounds like another good state to move too.
The other amendment that passed was restoring guns to Vets and stop disarming them. The other thing was better reporting of severe mental health issues.
Joey Falzone, I believe that was made illegal today. Unless of certain circumstances. One of the amendment nets, I believe. But I’m old. Lol
Hey, MISSOURI!! LeGaLiZe HEMP!!!!!!!
Can you open carry your handgun anywhere in Missouri? No? Then your second amendment arguments are garbage. Right to what again?
This is not news. NO LAW can violate the Constitution, EVER.
Yes!
Whoop! Whoop!
Right on Missouri. I have the unfortunate luck to be living in a liberal state so, of course, we will never see our rights protected in this way. We, instead, pay the highest tax per capita of any state. Our state is bankrupt due to over spending, bloated government, and liberal idiots in office.
Yeah it all sounds good in till we think about how the Missouri Highway Patrol released records of all CCW holders to the Fed just last month. So who goes to jail for that. Some libtardfuck has to pay for that don’t they? Can we just break the law for free now and not worry about it?
GO MISSOURI!!!
Weren’t they a blue state though?
My future home State!!!
The law will all come down to the compact therory, and the proper interpretation of the Second Amendment. Remember, the U.S. Constitution was not written for lawyers, but for simple people who mostly had an education below the 8th grade. Therefore, the compact government is Absolutly prohibited from making any laws concerning firearms, except for making sure the trade in arms is regular between the states.
Gee, wonder if that’s a red state?
This is great many other States needs to follow Missouri example of courage against the Feds…..
Good job Missouri!
Why don’t they just vote to say we will follow the constitution thereby making all the restrictions imposed by the liberals, null and void.
I knew I loved Missouri!!
Its like state laws don’t even matter, they only want to use the laws they want.
Feds always have supremacy even with businesses, my gf got fired and under missouris labor law n i cant remember which one it is, but it states that the business has to either give last paycheck on day of dismissal and if they cant provide that u can write a letter requesting it, if they dont provide within 7 days they have to pay you until you get it for no more than 60 days. Federal law is different and that’s what businesses go by it trumps state law, lawyers will even tell u that, nonetheless my girlfriend only got paid for the time she was there, n still had to wait 2 weeks.
At least some states realize how important The Bill of Rights are to The American People! There are ways to Limit the Power of The Federal Government!
Great ! The bill of rights were specifically added restrictions the founders put in place to further limit the Governments power over our rights, our rights are not up to the government. Which is why amendment 9 says that “the enumeration in the constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people” to cover any they did not specifically mention as outside of the authority of the government.
Rick. I was wondering if anyone here was going to point this out. Missouri can posture all it wants. Sadly, Yer still f’d.
Sounds great, but what about concurrent jurisdiction and federal supremacy ? It goes like this: there’s a federal jurisdiction, and then there’s State jurisdiction, and when there is an overlap of both, it’s called “concurrent” jurisdiction. In cases of concurrent jurisdiction, there is federal supremacy. This was also by design ingenious, cause federal supremacy ties the nation together where it could fall apart.
This country was founded with principals and laws. If you disagree with them you cant use the federal government to change those laws to fit your agenda, i wont let you. My rights are granted to me by my Creator and they are inalienable.(that means cant be taken away for my liberal friends) if you dont like it succeed. We wont stop you, we want you gone.
Welcome to the sho me state! Hell yeah im not giving up my rights as a united states citizen to own a gun! Some idiot trys to come into my house with my kids there and try to kill us im fighting for my daughter and son!
Listen to the bile and hate being spewed by the Liberals. Liberalism is a cult of Hate and Violence.
Outstanding Mo.
This is all political nonsense, nothing more..
Pro constitution you say you are, but you all loved the patriot act when bush was in office, which is unconstitutional. Hmm hypocritical maybe??
I am a proud Missourian , I have called in talked to all of the senators n house of repersentives of Missouri in support of this and I am even more proud to say I am from Missouri at this moment. And as saying we are back woods that maybe Kevin, but my graduating class of 1992 was ranked in the top 10% of the nation on our achievement scores, in the little town of newburg , mo. Thank you very much. And further more I also live in a town I don’t have to lock my doors at all, or even take the Keyes out of my vehicles either, so how is the dumb ass now!
So we no longer have to get a tax stamps for NFA items?
The States need to send Obama a message loud and clear. He and his cronies may not respect the Constitution, but the States and most the people still do!
Michigan take a page and do it too
Kathy, in addition, having local “Sheriffs” which protect the rights of the people is essential
Why is it that every debate I have with someone anti gun, it ends with an irrational insult from them?
Btw does this mean the federal firearm act is now null and void? Does this mean you can own sound suppresses and machine guns without registering them? I’m movin to Missouri!
Kevin. Don’t be an idiot. The Supreme Court ruled that “a well regulated militia” is the people and not the national guard. Since you think our firearms ownership is supposed to be limited, why not limit free speech? FYI idk if you know this but the second amendment says SHAL NOT BE INFRINGED! Suck on my machine gun
Also Kansas
I would only like to see you use your brain Kevin
Kevin its the 2nd amendment would you want the 1st to be under this kind of scrutiny? National guard is still a federal army. How could a population protect themselves from a corrupt government if their army is controlled by that government. Its not rocket science….
Okay I get it….Kevin= Troll !!! Should have known!!
You’re all fucked. Bet you all wouldn’t hesitate to put a bullet in my brain would you? You’re just dying for another civil war, aren’t ya? Kill yourself some tyrant loving libtards? Classy…
Day-um! Now that’s some fine news.
I love our constitution. I hate imbeciles who read it with no context and suddenly think they’re constitutional scholars. I support and love te second amendment which is why I love our national guard program. Why? Because its a well regulated militia, just like the 2nd amendment says. I love the fact that we vote on laws regulating that because we can vote on it.
Kevin, reverting to gutter mouth language only displays your true intelligence.
Seriously, for all you fuckheads who throw the term “tyrant” around like we’re living under Stalin, try reading some fucking history. We just had a bill presented in the senate. It failed. Democracy in action. In a tyrannical world, there never would’ve been a vote! Dave, please just get the fuck out
Any feral official trying to usurp state authority by trying to arrest a citizen should be arrested themselves by the sheriff.
I thin I may be moving to MO…I love freedom….
Hurray for Missouri. Still waiting for Washington to wake up.
Kevin if you don’t like our constitution find one you like elsewhere
Idaho tried it after Ruby Ridge. No real teeth in any of it, unfortunately.
This country was built on our rights. No rights, no country.
Kevin… Here you go, turning it around trying to make it look like anyone who is anti Obama is anti American. Well, it doesn’t work anymore! We’re fed up with your tantrums! Love America! Love my family! Love my guns!! You mister, need to ck into visa plans for out of MY COUNTRY trip!
Obama may yet succeed in uniting us–in opposition to his administration, one state at a time.
Why do I even bother checking Facebook? I’m just constantly reminded how people like Dave can be such America haters. Fucking anti-American dipshits. My country, love it or leave it. Mexico can’t be too far away from you. Get the hell out!
Dave’s words are why America is doomed to fail. Say hello to a confederate states of America. After we blow ourselves to shit first. Dave, please tell me you don’t have any friends who hate America like this? I mean what ever happened to “if you don’t love America then get the fuck out!” Clearly you hate America. Canada’s just a stones throw away…
Missouri- backwater dumbshits. Let them shoot each other all day
Love it.
So’38 and 68 are still in affect but the feds can’t enforce them here in mo? I’m very unclear to the real life effect of this
the show me state, showing the rest of the states the way to deal with this tyrant! great work missouri!!
no, If the feds enter for that reason, they are subject to arrest and trial, i believe.
All federal gun control laws are nullified?
Exactly what does this mean?
Chaz, Dems controlled congress in 1994; Repubs won majority in Nov ’94 weren’t seated until ’95
:-D….. Does this mean we can have automatic weapons without having to spend three years getting a class 3 license? Sweeet!!!
Does this include the insurance coverage they are trying to push???
Unfortunately this nullify bit hasn’t worked yet. Almost brought the Union to civil war under president Andrew Jackson. I’d have to read up on the prelude to the Civil War, but think it has its roots in a similar movement. As much as I agree with this it will lead to trouble.
1994 republican controlled congress
Politics. If a Republican passes a gun law, it will welcome with open arms, and there has been “brady bill” “assault weapon ban of 1994” Just saying. Just politics people
Im proud to live in mo
now can they please stop obama care ?? that one is really going to hurt…
I’m sorry Dennis but you are 100 percent wrong. The states made the federal government not the other way around… and if everybody thought just like you Dennis… nobody would’ve ever ignored the federal Fugitive Slave Act which was a federal law nullified by many states. Learn your history man, nullifcation is the best way to bring back compliance with the Constitution.
When did Missouri grow a couple??
More people setting the stage for secession.
BS. The wording is toothless. They will punt to SCOTUS to define, and accept the definition.
As long as nobody can change the definition of law abiding citizen, they are off to a good start.
Missouri, you’re alright! Thanks for the backbone!
i hope TN is next
The 1934 one is called the Federal Firearms Act, not GCA. That is only the 1968 one’s title.
Dennis Maggard, first, thanks for your service from a fellow RVN vet. Now to the subject at hand, the Constitution is very plain that the Federal government only has authority and power over the things in the to-do list in that Constitution (the Enumerated powers)! While the fact that the SCOTUS has chosen to increase it’s own power by the so called “supremacy clause” don’t make it so! The SCOTUS has over-ruled a previous SCOTUS decision numerous times throughout our history simply because the previous ruling was unconstitutional! It is important to read the preamble to the bill of rights which is abundantly clear that the BOR was included to restrict the ability of the Federal to usurp the authority of the States! The Constitution, not the SCOTUS, is the supreme law of the land!
Oklahoma has.
Did you somehow forget what administration brought forward the Patriot Act? Yea, Dems hate the 2nd and 10th amendments, but etablishment Republicans equally hate the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th. I’ve also yet to see a “Republican” on the federal level, since Reagan, make any real attempt to reduce taxation – they want to spend money just as much as Democrats do, it’s just on different things.
Please help stop this deportation from happening!!
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/04/18/report-saudi-national-ruled-out-as-suspect-in-boston-marathon-bombings-to-be-deported-on-national-security-grounds-next-week/
I like Missouri!
but then Missouri turns over the CWP lists to the ATF….WTF?.
ALL States need to follow suite!
How come Piers Morgan is still in the USA ? Didn’t he say he would leave if gun control wasn’t passed?
Speak for yourself Commie!
Texas needs this.
Better re-read the Constitution, amigo.
WHERE is Indiana in all of this… disappointing.
I personally think guns suck. With that said, individual states, and the people residing in those states, should decide law when it’s not specifically isolated in the Constitution as being under federal “jurisdiction.”
YEEEEES!!!!
federal agents can be arrested and tried for violating state Law
YOU GO MISSOURI!!
Arkansas needs to follow suit… Quickly! Senator Mark Pryor stood up for his constituents at the senate vote… Now he needs to draft similar legislation for Arkansas!!!
You people known nothing of constitutional law. Not even Scalia would say a state can nullify a federal law. Only federal courts can nullify federal laws, by declaring them unconstitutional. Neither state courts nor state legislatures have that power.
Proud to be a Missourian!
If its not covered By the constitution, YES they can!!!!
A————–MEN !!!
All laws contrary to the Constitution are null and void and of no effect.
We should all be so lucky.
Way to go Missouri !!
Why can’t liberals say anything meaningful or true. States all over the country are nullifying unconstitutional laws. Stop trolling your lies.
RT @TenthAmendment: Missouri House Votes to Nullify all Federal Gun Control Measures, 115-42: http://t.co/BlOmZChrQp #10th
wish we would fire all of them and hit the reset button.
I seem to recall some vacating to Canada – in fact, some who did that are now professors at well known colleges and others are highly placed in the government. So people thumb their noses at the federal government all the time.
Brandon has it exactly.
Indiana get with it
The Supremacy Clause only applies if Congress is acting in pursuit of its constitutionally authorized powers. So please, all you Supremacy clause folk: where in the Constitution does Congress derive the authority to regulate Arms at all? The 2nd Amendment clearly prohibits congressional regulation thereof.
Way to go Missouri.
One more down….
In my younger days the federal government sent millions of us to Vietnam, and we had to do it or go to jail or Canada.
Lets see the Feds try and enforce any and we will see what happens. My Bet is the feds dare not try.
http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2013/04/kansas-governor-sam-brownback-signs-2nd-amendment-protection-act-into-law/
Go MO
Proud of my state.
And there’s nothing wrong with gun control within reason
and what are the “FEDS” (whom by the way are OUR EMPLOYEES) going to do when we FIRE THEIR ASSES?
The federal government can still go over their heads they have done it before they will do it again
Dennis your an Idiot!!! The states can nullify federal law you dumbass liberal!!!
yes states can nullify federal laws
Dennis…I will put this in laymen’s terms. If the federal government told you to jump off a cliff, do you have to do it?
Wish SC would pass something like this
Yes, they can. By non-compliance and refusal to enforce.
how about michigan
Republican or Democrat, What a difference it does make, Freedom or Tyranny, vote democrat and become a subject of the State, Vote Republican and maintain your BILL of RIGHTS, and protect your individual Freedom!While the democrats offer to take care of you from cradle to grave, you will live under their rules, all the Republicans have to offer you is the ability to fend for yourself, less taxes, and the Bill of rights not INFRINGED, see the last vote in Senate 54 Senators want to take your rights away.
Texas needs to follow suit
supremacy clause means nothing.
We are ready to debate all that again!
We have. many times. when people claim “can’t.” but we’re not going to argue with someone who has preconceived notions of both. we’ll continue to reply with “but they are” – because they are. are you going to stop it from happening?
You’d trade money for freedom Patricia Holden? You’re are a dip.
that how you do it?
you can read more on this here – http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2013/04/17/nullification-and-pie/
thank you for doing your job so well.
Dennis, you are uninformed! Also look up jury nullification, juries can nullify any law whatsoever! Its constitutional!
You should study the Nullification Crisis of 1832. To say nothing of the Civil War. And the supremacy clause of the US Constitution.
Texans take notice.
they’ll be repealing that as fast as lightning when the feds deny any $$$ in aid of any kind.
And another one bites the dust. 🙂
Read the Constitution Dennis. You can also go down with the Obama sinking ship. Either way!
that’s a major part of it. and the more this happens, the more and more difficult – to impossible – it becomes for the feds to enforce these laws. we know it – and they know it.
amen
wrong!
Awesome!
but they are.
Missouri, supporting the Constitution and the 10th Amendment since circa August, 1821!
States cannot nullify federal laws.
How does this work? Kinda like marijuana legalization, where the Feds can still enforce their federal laws but the state just won’t?
this is going to have a hard enough time as is.
Ok, being unrealistic is of no help. That would never, ever pass.
the States are telling the Federal Government where to stuff it. Yeah!!
Thank you Missouri Reps; Senators please protect our 2nd Amendment rights.
Glad I live here
Good start but should have not stopped at 2nd Amendment. Should have been more general to encompass any law, order, edict etc!
I AM PROUD OF MISSOURI FOR PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS. THANK YOU. YOU ARE PATRIOTS
