Kansas Governor Sam Brownback received a letter today from Attorney General Eric Holder threatening action against the state should it enforce SB102, the pro 2nd Amendment law Brownback signed into law last month.
The new law declares that the federal government has no power to regulate guns manufactured, sold and kept only in Kansas.

Any act, law, treaty, order, rule or regulation of the government of the United States which violates the second amendment to the constitution of the United States is null, void and unenforceable in the state of Kansas.
The legislation made it a felony for a federal agent to enforce any law, regulation, order or treaty regulating ammunition made, sold and kept in the state because the federal government does not “interstate commerce” authority over such items.

Not that I have heard of. That is why I found this interesting. Almost immediately after it was passed / signed, the feds fired off a letter. Then again, perhaps they have warned other states and those states decided it wasn't worth publicizing.

Kansas's last governor is Kathleen Sebelius, a hardline leftist, and current member of Obama's cabinet (Heal & Human Services). My guess is that this new law passed over some stiff opposition from the same folks that elected her governor, meaning that the forces of Mordor still have a significant presence in the state. If Oklahoma or Texas were to pass such a bill, I doubt that Holder would waste time trying to send them a letter which he knows full well will just end up burned in an ashtray. Maybe he thinks Kansans will back his play.

I almost hope Holder tries... The courts would essentially be forced to decide what constitutes "interstate commerce", which will either solve a lot of our problems or lay the legal framework for the continued destruction of the country, depending on which way they rule.
