With President Joe Biden issuing a flurry of executive actions last week to strengthen federal gun laws, state representatives across the country are working in the opposite direction, taking a page from the playbook of immigration activists by advancing legislation that would make their enforcement illegal. On April 6, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, a Republican, signed the first gun control nullification bill into law.
"Nullifying unconstitutional, federal laws is both legal and it's also the right thing to do," says Anthony Sabatini, a Republican lawmaker and member of the Florida House of Representatives. "It's silly to sit around and wait for something you know is unconstitutional," he tells Reason. "It's time to stand up and fight back. And the methods that we need to use are the ones already being used by the left."
In 1987, Oregon passed a law prohibiting state and local law enforcement from using public resources to arrest or detain people whose only crime was being in the country illegally. Since then, hundreds of other jurisdictions have passed similar laws, becoming so-called sanctuary cities.
Conservative activists are employing the same strategy. While Arizona is the only state where such a bill has become law, elected officials have introduced similar bills in more than a dozen statehouses.
"We know this stuff has been working and the right can continue to complain about the things that the left is successful at, or they can look at it, learn from it, and replicate it," Michael Boldin, the founder and executive director of the Tenth Amendment Center, tells Reason.
Sabatini is cosponsoring a bill in Florida called the "Second Amendment Preservation Act" that would prohibit any employee of the state of Florida from enforcing, or attempting to enforce "any federal act, law, executive order, administrative order, court order, rule, regulation, statute, or ordinance infringing on the right to keep and bear arms ensured by the Second Amendment."
Defying federal law is something that a majority of states already do in one way or another, by becoming immigration sanctuaries or through the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana and other drugs that federal law still deems illegal.
"In terms of the method it's identical," says Sabatini. In sanctuary cities, "they stopped reporting to or dealing with I.C.E., and that's basically what we're doing."
Boldin says that for the nullification movement to succeed against gun control laws and beyond, more Americans will have to recognize that the most effective way to oppose federal policies that violate their rights is at the local level.
"The whole idea of federalism is so important because it's the only way you can have a country with a few hundred million people living together with a wide range of social, economic, political viewpoints together in peace. What's right for people in California is probably not right for people in South Carolina and vice versa. And when we see things that come down from a one-size-fits-all centralized solution, I don't think anyone really ever gets what they want."
Because 36 states have nullified federal marijuana prohibition, Boldin argues, there's mounting pressure for the federal government to follow suit. "I think we can replicate that on other issues and learn that localism is really the way forward for liberty."

If we’re going to abolish police departments, citizens should be able to defend themselves.
not to mention the flooding of the country with unvetted illegals! ( why delete comments? what did I say that was bad?)

@@randalthor6872 if we're flooding the country with the legal aliens we might as well arm them to the teeth the profits the gun industrycan make up that will be phenomenal
Just set up a gun store on the Rio grande with a 10% discount for drug cartel and gang members
So true right to carry as long as your a Law Abiding Citizen but again show me a criminal who actually follows the law
We’ll just make American cities function like the Wild West
"Common sense" gun laws are not remotely common sense. In many cases, modern use of the phrase "common sense" is a bullying tactic, an indirect way to call someone "fucking stupid."
i mean reid henrichs said it perfectly, we cant even agree on what a man and woman is so how would we be able to agree on "common sense" gun laws lol
they know, and the voters dont mind being lied to. "common sense" is 2 pistol grips on a pistol = 10 years in prison
im sure that second pistol grip will turn a not-mass shooting into a million people dead
Common Sense is a slogan, not a fact in legislation. The Affordable Care plan isn't affordable. The Save America plan doesn't save anyone. Infrastructure is no longer bricks and mortar
@@chrischeehan2423 what are you talking about? laws always mean what they say. like the patriot act. (lmaooooooooooo)
The right to "keep and bear arms" does not limit the citizen on how to "keep and bear arms" nor does it limit where a citizen can "keep and bear arms". Any "constitutional carry" is less than successful if citizens are not permitted to "keep and bear arms" in every venue that is currently off limits: public schools, local, state and federal government buildings, and so on. Everywhere a government agent carries a firearm, a citizen should also be able to do the same.
Everywhere a government agent can't carry a firearm, a citizen should not be able to do the same.

@@tetraxis3011 The traditional age of accountability for many societies, has settled in at 21. Anyone under this age should not be in possession of any weapon unless accompanied by an "adult", that is, a person 21 years of age or over.

Crime levels have reached the point of commonality, that decent citizens, who are fed up with rampant crime and bumbling Police, feel compelled to carry their own means of self defense.
“Who’s only crime was being in the country illegally”
Who does that apply to? Just the dependents? Do they work? Are they not paying taxes? (crime). How are they circumventing e-verify? Identity fraud? (Crime). Are they driving without a license? (Crime)
How many crimes do you need?
Are they driving without a license? Well, no in the 12 demonrat controlled states that give them licenses (crime) and allow them to vote with that as ID (crime). Demonrats are criminals, they ignore Federal and Constitutional laws, and Repukicans are complacent.
Crime is crime. I don't care if their only crime WAS illegal immigration... Get Out. I'm tired of the government bending the rules. Either enforce the laws or change them through the proper channels(Congress). Having a law but disregarding it on such a massive scale is infuriating. Especially in a world after 9/11...

That's why they'll get our guns first, an inch at a time, so we'll never try to take their power. They know all they have to do is keep from any sudden and big move, and we'll wait for them to do that while they hit us with small infringements, too small to be worth fighting in the streets over. They know what they're doing and see us coming 20 miles down the road. They're much smarter than anyone on the Right wants to imagine. They've focused their efforts on psychology and group think, character destruction, and ways that go much deeper than mere infringement of rights. They know how to manipulate crowd feelings and have you expecting one thing while they do another. They also specialize in idiot control, and they have the majority of conservatives now convinced that "violence never solved anything", so they can use intimidation and guilt tactics that other conservatives will enforce for them. The biggest sign that they've won control over conservatives is how overly resentful of Trump so many were. The first guy in decades to show any sing of having their best interests at heart, and he get's tomatoed not just by the media but by most "conservative" pundits.

We lost when the possession of the gun became the crime.
As a law abiding citizen, I want the same tools to defend myself, my family, and my community from criminals that police use to stop them.
Freedom ain't free. People are gonna see that soon enough when they come.
Whenever a law was written that limited what citizens could possess without limiting government to the same terms and the citizenry obeyed the law they became subjects. At that point the law maker and the criminal became equals and the fool that obeyed the law submitted to the authority of tyranny.

Idaho and Wyoming passed laws like this about 10 years ago. I remember specifically because at the time they were passed, I owned a gun shop and the state legislator that sponsored it was a regular customer of mine. These laws even have clauses where ATF agents trying to enforce federal gun laws in these states can be arrested and prosecuted. Now, that probably would be difficult to do but it shouldn't be. Idaho's law set up a fund to pay for the defense of anyone being illegally prosecuted for federal gun law violations. Anyway, my main point is there are more states that have passed federal gun law nullification than this video mentioned.

You left out a comma. As a gun-owning citizen, I will not argue the value of that comma, but as is you are not accurately quoting the 2nd amendment.
@B Ford My interpretation would be that the 2nd amendment describes a well regulated militia AS the right of the people to keep and bear arms. So.... Yes.
@B Ford the people are the militia
@B Ford are you telling me that only the police and state police are protected by the 4th amendment?
@B Ford The Amendment states that because we need a well-regulated militia (which in common use at the time meant well-maintained, well-organized, ect.) to protect our free country, the People's ability to keep and use their Arms is not to be fucked with. The founding fathers weren't too big on standing armies since they're great at being used by tyrants, hence the focus on a militia made up of the everyman.
Any law that restricts any American citizen from owning a firearm or a certain type of firearm is unconstitutional if you're an American citizen you are born with that right and that right shall not be infringed,seems that tyranny is the crime that always gets overlooked and goes unpunished for some reason

“A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes all other laws and the individual’s rights shall be liberally enforced in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated beneficiary.” -Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)

"In an organized militia"
If you're going to quote the second amendment quote the whole thing because it just gives the liberals ammunition to use against you and paint you as an anarchist
@@jamesricker3997 If you're going to get on people about quoting the whole thing, maybe don't misquote it yourself. Here is the exact text -
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
It is important to note the amendment does not mention regulated arms. It mentions regulated militias. People keep the arms.
It is equally important to note that "well regulated" does not mean what most modern readers think it means. It was a very common turn of phrase from the 17th to the late 19th century which, in modern parlance, means "in working order". The only common modern use of that phrase I can think of today is a euphemism for pooping consistently.
The 2nd Amendment is the only 'Common Sense' gun law ever needed.
Damn... that map gives one a sense of Deja Vu....
I get the feeling that the ATF is still going to be a danger to someone's dog regardless if local agencies withhold assistance.
Isn’t it the AFT?.... Thats what former Vice President Biden calls it.
@@azmtb93 I dunno, I'm pretty sure the AFT was in charge of the AR-16s, AK-14s and firing both rounds of a double barreled shotgun illegally into the air. 🤷♂️ I may be wrong.
@@azmtb93 He said it correctly when describing himself,,,AFT America's funniest twit,,,,,,see he's just being honest LOL.
Simple fix Hire 20,000+ new ATF agents, To inforce common sense gun control= 30 day Mandatory background check through the ATF, FBI Keeping guns out of the hands of crazies, Red flag laws!! Just like ICE when into Sanctuary cities,and rounded up women children and men and deported them...
@@republicansthatdidntvotefo1605 instead of "keeping the guns out of the hands of crazies" we should actually give people the help they need instead of just saying "man up" and perpetuating the stigma around men's mental health in effect creating more "crazies". But that's an actual solution, and neither the Left nor the Right care about actual solutions, they only care about making politics even more polarizing and dividing.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, I'd walk down the street, in California, with a .22 or .410 to the creek by my house to hunt quail and squirrels and nobody cared. Not even the cops.
Times have sure changed.
When I was growing up in orange county CA. My friends and I would ride motorcycles from Dana Pointe to Saddleback mountain. There used to be a track, there for Enduro bikes. On way back, we would get Grouse, and quail, every now and then we would get rabbit. The days of going to the drive in, in the back of the truck...the real night out at the movies...only in memory 🍻
I road my bike, with my bow and arrows strapped to my book carrier, to the hills of Calabasas to hunt rabbits. No one even gave me a strange look back then. Today, the COPS would probably receive a hundred phone calls about the lunatic. The liberals destroyed California.
NoNameUno when I was a kid we had rifles and shotguns in our pickups hanging on a rack in the rear window and parked in the school parking lot during classes in high school. We traded knives during lunch hour with our buddies and never gave it a second thought. Those days are certainly over.
these days the freaks in charge want kids shooting up drugs and pushing for marxism
I enjoy every time the govt gets a hard on for guns, it gives me a reason to buy more
About time!!!! Shall not be infringed..... period!
As an alaskan, I cant think of very many people who might not own a gun let alone 5 or 10 at the very least. We have high schools that have gun raffles to raise money for sports teams, we have a shooting range inside our school!
As every state should.
At least everyone knows witch end is the business end of a gun
I loved growing up there and I’ve taken those values with me every where I’ve lived and taught them to my son
Tell rasputin I said hey
It’s almost like if you teach respect for guns people will respect those guns
They’ll come high and they’ll come low,they’ll look everywhere we go.But when the sinners find us we won’t hide.They’ll come loud and they’ll come fast,but if we shoot first then we can last.KEEP YOUR RIFLE BY YOUR SIDE.

Never trust anyone who wants to take away your god given right to self defense.

@Ashy Larry everyone has the right to defend yourself, but not the extent of killing a person

I would prefer the state to make the decisions because the crimes taking place in different states call for different approaches.
If this worked at the county level, then New York would be a sanctuary.
I hope to live to see the day when treason is treated seriously in the US.
Here's some common sense steps: the 10 people who died in a grocery store a few miles from my house should have had a gun and training to defend themselves as I do everywhere I go.
@Common sense Why ruin this guy's logical argument w/ speculation? I'm of the mind that not everything is as it appears as well... but if you're trying to convince people of our common need for self-defense, why muddy the waters?
@Common sense there were 10 separate funerals.
Or make owning a gun almost impossible for the average Joe, downright impossible for those with criminal records or psychical illnesses . I believe as well that it is logical 10 people died in a grocery store near where you live as long as owning a gun is trivial, such as you own your gun. Americans do not understand countries that have a ban on weapons rarely see gun crimes committed in schools, streets, grocery stores. It is so logical that it hurts.
@@flaviuscarp lol you think criminals get their guns legally? If all guns were banned, every criminal would still be able to get their hands on one.
@@flaviuscarp Even in America, knife deaths far outnumber gun deaths. Hey, remember that mass spearing* in germany from the 60's? You can kill lots of people in a confined space w/ lots of diffrent weapon types. But guns startle you more so it overrides your thinking capacity :/
Right on. I agree. So local cops have to do their own work. As they say. “It’s time to do work. “
Our rights will not be infringed upon.
"Shall not be infringed." We will not comply.
they always seem to skip over that line in the constitution.
Biden: “No amendment is absolute”
Arizonans: “This will be fun. We haven’t played cowboys and democrats yet.”
Hell yeah
Cowboys and Californians, I hear they've started a league in Texas too.

Non compliance has always been an option, often effeictive.
"Shall not be infringed", is the exception.
If Amendments are not absolute than the tax Amendment can be ignore too. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!
Repeal the 16th!
There are no state legislators pushing for no taxes. You simply will not find any.
According to Biden, black people and women can lose the right to vote since amendments aren’t absolute
I think biden wants slaves again. democrats fought a war to keep them, founded the kkk when they lost and started jim crow when their kkk insurrection failed. not to mention dems blocked black vets from using the gi bill they earned with blood.

There should be 40+ states that craft and pass similar laws that uphold the constitution. If the feds threaten to withhold federal funding, the states should refuse to withhold and/or submit federal income tax.

@K. Victor if you truly believe not owning a firearm is going to help you from some criminal with a firearm pointed in your face then I think you're the one that needs to leave the country.
@K. Victor Me having guns keeps me safe fuck your delusion of daddy government holding your hand when the hour is needed. The world can laugh at our nation all it wants I'm not in grade school, the laughter of others does not affect my life; also, being in the USA, it certainly doesn't affect my chance to defend my rights and make a decent living through hard work and education.

@@republicansthatdidntvotefo1605 see the reason ice went into sanctuary cities anyway, is because they knew there was little to no risk involved. People with blue hair generally don't shoot you.
@@republicansthatdidntvotefo1605 There's already a background check. I should know I've had to wait five days so far just to buy a 9mm handgun. These things already exist in Democrat cities, and guess what? Top twenty most dangerous cities in America are massive Democrat strongholds. Detroit, Chicago, Las Angeles, New York, etc. At least last when I checked, and a couple months won't change that statistic. With the most dangerous Democrat city having a murder rate over four times the largest republican city.
Fact check me. I dare you. Everything you think will prevent gun crime only increases it. Do the opposite of what you've been told.
