State of Texas should pass Nullification resolution

[Doug.38PR]

Considering that we have Obama Bin Laden as "our" new president and the way the House and Senate are these days...preparations should be made. Texans and other true red American states should fall back on their governor and state legislatures to pass resolutions that will refuse to enforce any gun legislation (assault weapons ban, chl ban, gun confiscation etc.) within the borders of that state and will even protect citizens of such states from efforts of federal officials arresting them if they attempt to break and enter or harrass people of Texas.

I'm trying to find the article, but I believe the State of Louisiana passed just such a resolution regarding the National ID card or some kind of national uniform drivers license (which amounts to a national id card). if I remember right the feds are trying to make some to do about keeping people from Louisiana from traveling in public airports without their approved ids. But Louisiana is refusing to do it. I want to find that article.

So...it CAN happen.

of course, we as a soverign state also have retained the right to suceed from the union if we so desire

ha..ha..ha
Very funny.

But seriously, we have state governments for a reason. The states aren't supposed to be provinces of the National Government.

Anybody up for a petition to the governor of Texas or your state Representative? That's one way we could preserve our RTKBA in spite of Obama and his goons being in Washington.

Doug you're thinking of the REAL ID act - several states said they wouldn't go along.

I'm up for this kind of pre-emptive action. This is a great idea, in that it sends a message - DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS... and don't tread on me!

I think this was changed a few years back.

I would be interested in seeing that in writing.

hey, I'm all for any state succeeding.


now, secession is a topic we don't discuss 'roun here.

[Doug.38PR]

Yes, that was a thread I started and Mr. Cotton wasn't comfortable with it.

But I am not talking about Secession. I am talking about nullification. The State of Texas (or wherever) refusing to enforce unconstitutional laws within their borders (I.E. any new assault weapon ban or gun confiscation)....heck, remember back in the mid 19th century the fugitive slave law was Constitutional yet some states refused to enforce it within their borders.

Hey did you just put that together?

Way ta go. I just signed it

I've signed these online petitions before...how do they ultimately get to the state capitol or governor's office? Does somebody from that website shoot them an E mail after obtaining enough signatures?

really??? wasn't aware of that... not that it REALLY matters anyway

All of this talk about seceding has already been done previously in another thread, and it was decided that this is not the kind of message we want on these forums.

all this talk??? just me trying to add some light humor to the topic....not anything to get all wound up about.... I don't think that it would ever be a "real" solution to anything...just a a joke...not to have been taken seriously.

Reminds me of something arizona did

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:

1. That when or if the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States or any other federal agent or agency declares the Constitution of the United States to be suspended or abolished, if the President or any other federal entity attempts to institute martial law or its equivalent without an official declaration in one or more of the states without the consent of that state or if any federal order attempts to make it unlawful for individual Americans to own firearms or to confiscate firearms, the State of Arizona, when joined by thirty-four of the other fifty states, declares as follows: that the states resume all state powers delegated by the Constitution of the United States and assume total sovereignty; that the states re-ratify and re-establish the present Constitution of the United States as the charter for the formation of a new federal government, to be followed by the election of a new Congress and President and the reorganization of a new judiciary, similarly following the precedent and procedures of the founding fathers; that individual members of the military return to their respective states and report to the Governor until a new President is elected; that each state assume a negotiated, prorated share of the national debt; that all land within the borders of a state belongs to the state until sold or ceded to the central government by the state's Legislature and Governor; and that once thirty-five states have agreed to form a new government, each of the remaining fifteen be permitted to join the new confederation on application.

2. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this Resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona.
