Missouri House Proposes Jail Time for Feds Violating the 2nd Amendment

Missouri conservatives proposed a bill that will punish feds violating the Second Amendment with jail time.
The Tenth Amendment Center reported:

Introduced by Missouri State Representative Casey Guernsey, with 61 co-sponsors, is the Missouri 2nd Amendment Preservation Act. House Bill 170 (HB170) would nullify any and all federal acts, orders, laws, statutes, rules, or regulations of the federal government on personal firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition.

The bill states, in part:

“Any official, agent, or employee of the federal government who enforces or attempts to enforce any act, order, law, statute, rule, or regulation of the federal government upon a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is owned or manufactured commercially or privately in the state of Missouri and that remains exclusively within the borders of the state of Missouri shall be guilty of a class D felony.”

A class D felony in Missouri carries a prison sentence of up to 4 years.

While a number of states, including Wyoming, South Carolina, Indiana, and others – are looking to go head to head with the feds on specific issues under the 2nd amendment, the Missouri legislation is the strongest introduced anywhere in the country so far.

This is a good first step but States need to reign in Washington DC’s out of control reckless behavior, rules and spending. . .

And when we do lock Fed folks up in State Prisons, remember to give them this advice. .
NEVER DROP YOUR BAR OF SOAP IN THE SHOWER

How ironic. Obama is on the Bull Connor side of this issue and he is too stupid to know it.

I say the hell with rallies, calls, emails, letters and door-to-door campaigns-
let’s get on with the inevitable

why do you think they’ve made their move for guns now?
(after how many years of saying they gave up the push?)
because they want the Patriotic Citizenry disarmed before they collapse the economy, crash the system and invite armies onto our soil for the total takedown

the only questions are when and how

“The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials, and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.”

So, when Airforce #1 lands in that State, will there be a running gun battle between State Law Enforcement Officers trying to arrest Barack for violation of State Law and Obama’s Secret Service guys? One can only hope!

Contact your state legislators to express your support for HB 170 and SB 150, the counterpart bill in the state senate. Others worthy of action are HB 162 (Missouri Firearms Freedom Act) and HCR 6, which reasserts Missouri sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.

Insurrection, sedition, treason.

Do it, bring it or shut your gaping piehole.

There’s an awful lot of chest-thumping and posturing going on here this evening. For all the talk of insurrection, Second Amendment remedies, etc. are any of you really planning to use your guns, or are you just hopping someone else will use theirs to make spice life up a bit? Methinks the gentlemen protest too much and I’d be willing to place a bet…

With all the “power, and damage he’s done with that power” seems pretty elementary that one would have done a background check on the Bamster……but, nooooooo!
