Texas has yet to litigate their H.B. 957 in court since the bill was made state law 30 days ago. If I was a betting man, I’d put my money on the Feds. They ain’t gonna let this go without a huge, drawn-out, and very costly fight - if they even deign to do anything other than simply force the state to comply. Withholding Federal funds, anyone?

Oklahoma would do well to wait and see what happens there. Sure, pass the bill into law, but don’t set an effective date just yet unless you have millions of dollars to burn.

It has not gone well for Kansas.

An appeals court on Tuesday upheld the firearms convictions against two Kansas men who mistakenly believed that a Kansas law can shield from federal prosecution anyone owning firearms made, sold and kept in the state.

Laws like this only work if you get enough people to mass disobedience, which is how the pot stuff got to that point.

The only thing more exciting to conservatives than new freedoms, are the stipulations on how to exercise those new freedoms. A recent example of this was the ATF proposed reclassification of AR pistols: before the rules were released to the public, it was all "don't tread on me!" and "f the ATF!", and once the rules dropped those same people couldn't hold back their excitement to understand how to follow the proposed rule.

The political right, by virtue of its reasons for existence, are destined to fail at civil disobedience. Only the left is good at doing that.

well to be fair, while i don't think quite as many people have illegal firearms or firearm accessories as have illegal drugs; there is an *awful* lot of propaganda on just how effective the ATF is at actually catching people who DO break the law.

at this point everyone knows a brace ban is pointless because mass disobedience. lots of people have uh.... "maybe" form 1's too. that guy selling them at the gunshow has likely sold kits to a lot of folks i would assume never bothered to send in any paperwork.

i doubt any of them have gotten their dogs shot.

so like you say, i think once everyone realized police don't like....ya know....really *do* anything to actually *prevent* or *stop* crime, weed became a non-issue. the same should apply for most firearms things.

in india they have an easy rule: if a law is unjust you do not follow that law. seems pretty simple to me.
