Growing Number Of States Eye Bills To Defy Federal Gun Laws
” On March 12 and 14, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed both Sen. Charles Schumer’s (D-NY) “Fix Gun Checks Act,” which would criminalize all private firearm sales and Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) “Assault Weapons Ban.”
These bills have a long way to go before they become law – if they ever do – but states across the nation are introducing their own legislation to preemptively defeat any new federal gun laws.
In Ohio, two senators have introduced SB36, which would prohibit firearms seizures, registration and bans in their state.
Sen. Jared Carpenter introduced a bill that would prohibit Kentucky from enforcing new federal gun control laws if they’re enacted. The measure passed by a vote of 34-3.”

Old hat with Schumer. About twenty-five years ago, he wanted the process for all gun sales to be that a person must first request permission to purchase or sell any firearm, then wait for law enforcement authorization and a ten day waiting period. Then the firearm to be physically brought into a police station for inspection and approval. If the 2013 version goes through, guess where it will all go? To Schumer’s original plot. The guy is an absolute eel. His CCW was approved upon submission of the application. Everyone else, it is supposed to be six months waiting period, that was stretched to eight months, and now Cuomo and Nanny, have turned that into a twelve month wait. NRA since 1975, that I can remember, always said that it was fighting to stop these New York State and new York City laws, but never, ever, delivered. All other States were attended to and New York was left alone. Complete and total failure. 1905 Sullivan Law, defied the Dick Act of 1902, but never was tossed out and is still the primary gun law of NYC. Now the State Capitol pushed much of that law onto the rest of the State. Only privileged persons, may carry. It is not said, but yelled, that it is a privilege, to carry a handgun anywhere in New York State, which is direct opposition to it being a Right as afforded under the Second Amendment. Notice all of the political corruption in State and City government. They have their “sweethearts”, and they have their “enemies” or now openly called, Persona Non Grata. That is how you will be viewed when filing for a CCW permit or renewal of the permit if lucky enough to have one.
“Notice all of the political corruption in State and City government.”
An excellent observation, Brittuis, and the reason we need to focus on the smaller election battles just as hard (or harder) than we do the national ones.
Impact-wise, we can make headway locally much more easily than we can on a big scale, and it’s where we’ll find easier entry for true patriots that can help steer us away from the Doom we’re heading for now.
Just so , JT . You can’t save the tree by flailing away at the vines that are chocking the life out of it . One needs to destroy the roots from which all the corruption emanates in order to save the tree . After all , these bozos in DC are all produced locally in their home states . We need to pursue a strategy of taking over the local governments whichwould provide the necessary farm team to produce political leaders that remember where they came from and what they are all about . Provided of course , that we don’t allow them to over-stay their welcome inside the beltway and become the next generation of looters and statists .
Mandatory term limitations that they cannot reverse, and Constitutional aptitude testing. They all claim to have law degrees but few if any, has any inkling of the Bill of Rights, in particular. For that matter, very few of then know how to write a Bill in plain language. They use jibber-jabber because I don’t believe they know what, they are trying to achieve, but feel obligated to write some Bill and get it passed. Maybe we should make them wear Dunce Caps? They’re not worth beyond minimum wage.
This is actually a reply to your 2nd comment, Brittius. Gonna have to ask JG to add an additional allowance for more than 2 comments in a string.
Anyway, you made two excellent points: “They all claim to have law degrees but few if any, has any inkling of the Bill of Rights, in particular. For that matter, very few of then know how to write a Bill in plain language.”
Your first point is dead on the money: too many of them have practical knowledge. Many of them have a law degree and nothing else. Few have actual law experience. I think it may be a new axiom: “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, legislate”.
Your second point, though apparently true, I think may may not be literally true. I think many of them CAN (or at least, COULD) write a bill in plain language. They simply choose NOT to…in order to make it harder to understand, and harder still to follow completely & legally.
They keep things nebulous in order to game the rules later on (sort of a built-in “gotcha” factor).
This troubles me more than anything because it infers Intent: I don’t think this is accidental in the least.
There used to be a saying that ignorance of the law was no excuse. But nowadays, EVERYONE is ignorant of the law. How could you not be? Laws are written in such legalese, and they are so numerous, no one could possibly be aware of all of them, or even most of them.
If this doesn’t change (and the tax laws would be a DANDY place to start…), we’re screwed.
Bravo. “Scripta Ad Decipiendum”, or “Written To Deceive”.
