Showdown in Kansas: Feds Threaten Kansas with Federal Power For Defending Gun Rights

Tweet

"In purporting to override federal law and to criminalize the official acts of federal officers, SB102 directly conflicts with federal law and is therefore unconstitutional."

Attorney General Eric Holder is threatening Federal Action against the State of Kansas after they passed a gun control nullification bill that banned federal authorities from violating is residents second amendment rights. The Bill, SB102, made it a felony for a federal agent to enforce any law, regulation, order or treaty regulating guns and ammunition made, sold and kept in the state, all of which is 100% constitutional since the Federal government does not have interstate commerce authority to regulate items made inside the State.

We should also mention that they have no authority to regulate any type of firearms since they are forbidden to do so in the 2^nd amendment of the United States Constitution, but we'll skip over that obvious argument for now and deal with the State Rights issue.

The Attorney General of the United States responded by sending the State of Kansas a letter that read:

"In purporting to override federal law and to criminalize the official acts of federal officers, SB102 directly conflicts with federal law and is therefore unconstitutional."

"Under the Supremacy Clause…Kansas may not prevent federal employees and officials from carrying out their official responsibilities.  And a state certainly may not criminalize the exercise of federal responsibilities.  Because SB102 conflicts with federal firearms laws and regulations, federal law supersedes this new statute; all provisions of federal laws and their implementing regulations therefore continue to apply."

He went on to threaten them with federal action when he said:

The United States will take appropriate action, including litigation if necessary, to prevent the State of Kansas from interfering with federal officials enforcing federal law.

It looks like we got out self a good old battle between State Rights and Federal Intrusion into the lives of everyone. Let's hope Kansas stands their ground on this one!

Here is Attorney General Eric Holders official letter: Anyone else wonder what he means by appropriate action, because the last time the federal government took "appropriate action" against the States things didn't go so well?
