[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 2068159, member: 24577"] I ain't saying that my friend is smarter than Madison or Jefferson. But he has taught government for over 35 years and has a PH.D. So yeah, he is very intelligent. But I guess you guys know more than him. I forgot how smart some of you are in politics. I hope that this does pass, don't get me wrong. I am just saying that I wouldn't get too excited about it. Yes it does look good to us 2A folks because it shows the government that we aren't gonna take it lying down. And maybe that is the Senators point. And the comment about the government not cutting funding off to the liberal states that have legal weed. We aren't talking about marijuana. We are talking about our controlling government wanting to disarm us. It is totally different. And if the AWB passes or registration or anything that can erode our rights you can bet on it that the feds will cut our funding off if we don't comply. And as for your resolutions that you mentioned. Read this: [I][B]Numerous scholars (including Koch and Ammon) have noted that Madison had the words "void, and of no force or effect" excised from the Virginia Resolutions before adoption. Madison later explained that he did this because an individual state does not have the right to declare a federal law null and void. Rather, Madison explained that "interposition" involved a collective action of the states, not a refusal by an individual state to enforce federal law, and that the deletion of the words "void, and of no force or effect" was intended to make clear that no individual state could nullify federal law.[[/B][/I] It is stated many times over that these resolutions could not trump federal law. So your quotes of these two resolutions have no bearing on what I said. So in a way, my friend is smarter than those two because he knows that our states rights cannot supersede US law. But like I said, I hope that it does pass and that other states do the same thing so we can show them that we mean business. I am not posting this to get into an argument with anyone. Just wanted to give a heads up because I didn't know if this bill were to be passed if it would actually be able to nullify federal law. Now I know that it can't. [/QUOTE]
