Sir Phydeau  User ID: 22271457  United States11/15/2014 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: FUCKING BREAKING!!! Texas introduces law to nullify ALL federal gun laws within the state!!!!!!! Shit! The secret service has been letting intruders get all the way in to the white house lately and personally I really don't think the secret service likes Obama one bit and I wonder if Obama even allows them to be armed around him. He sure does not allow Marine honor guard to be armed and loaded around him. Quoting: Robert50 65164452 LOL ... I thought the exact same thing when I heard those reports; "I bet he treats them as shitty as Moochelle does and they can't stand his ass hoping someone will kill him for them." "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" — John M. Keynes "The way to see by [blind] faith is to shut the eye of reason." - Benjamin Franklin Real men keep Torah. Knighted into the Army of Yahuwah on 10-9-10. Dear disaffected Democrats: Welcome to the Libertarian Party, we think you will find our social tolerance delightful. However in exchange for this, you're going to have to find a way to be ok with people keeping their guns and more of their money. Dear disaffected Republicans: Welcome to the Libertarian Party, we think you will find our small government economic policies to your liking. However in exchange you will have to find a way to be ok with "the gays" getting married. Snacks are on the table, help yourself. Please introduce yourself to someone on "the other side", you might be astonished just how much you actually have in common. |

Texas introduces law to nullify ALL federal gun laws within the state!!!!!!! Guns are a way of life in Texas. Even most women are carrying in their purses here. That's why thugs think twice about messing with them. Even our sheriffs are against gun control. Midland county sheriff Gary Painter, the one that said ISIS was a threat, has made it clear in the past that he would not enforce federal gun control.

Texas introduces law to nullify ALL federal gun laws within the state!!!!!!! "AUSTIN, November 14, 2014– A Texas legislator has introduced a new bill to derail the enforcement of virtually all federal gun control measures within the state’s borders. Quoting: The_Original_Mind “With this bill, Texas could help lead the country forward,” said Scott Landreth, campaign lead for ShallNot.org, a project of the Tenth Amendment Center that advocates for states to protect their citizens from federal overreach. “Passage would have serious impact on the federal government’s ability to carry out its unconstitutional gun control measures already on the books.” Landreth has suggested that this could create a domino effect. Introduced by newly re-elected State Representative Tim Kleinschmidt (R-Lexington), House Bill 176 (HB176) declares all federal restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms to be “invalid” and “not enforceable” within the state of Texas. It bill reads, in part: A federal law, including a statute, an executive, administrative, or court order, or a rule, that infringes on a law-abiding citizen’s right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution or Section 23, Article I, Texas Constitution, is invalid and not enforceable in this state. If passed into law, all government agencies and employees within Texas would be banned from enforcing any federal law in violation of the act. The prohibition on enforcement includes any federal legislation that: (1) imposes a tax, fee, or stamp on a firearm, firearm accessory, or firearm ammunition that is not common to all other goods and services and may be reasonably expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by a law-abiding citizen; (2) requires the registration or tracking of a firearm, firearm accessory, or firearm ammunition or the owners of those items that may be reasonably expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by a law-abiding citizen; (3) prohibits the possession, ownership, use, or transfer of a firearm, firearm accessory, or firearm ammunition by a law-abiding citizen; (4) orders the confiscation of a firearm, firearm accessory, or firearm ammunition from a law-abiding citizen."

Texas introduces law to nullify ALL federal gun laws within the state!!!!!!! ... Quoting: FHRITP you are both correct. even though the authority may exist for a sheriff to arrest a sitting president, if a sheriff tried that he would undoubtedly be shot dead in his tracks by the presisents secret service contingent. that is a fact and you can take it to the bank. And they would be subsequently be convicted of capital murder. Which in this state means we'd kill 'em back. Granted, there exists the possibility of a Presidential pardon, but that would result in impeachment, most likely. doubtful. besides the best way to deal with this run away federal govt is to simply secede from the union. an armed conflict would only result in further enslavement one the federal forces quashed the rebellion. secession, peacefully done is the best way. america as we knew it and grew up in is dead forever. besides, what do i have in common with say someone in california or new york? me being a tennesseean, nothing at all thats what. and honestly i dont want to be part of a nation that they are part of. due to the way the federal legislature and the electoral vote system is set up states like ny and ca have far too much power. I can find no fault in your posting beyond "doubtful". No one person is above the law ... even at this late stage of the game. well...that is a damn good point illumination "peanut butter jelly time!! peanut butter jelly time!! peanut butter jelly time!!" |
