#1 I would suggest these state laws criminalizing federal activities are just one step short of outright rebellion.

#2 I agree. It will be interesting to see how long it takes the Regime to send in Federal Judges, or the Deputy US Attorney General, and US Marshals. Of course there is always the 82nd Airborne and Federalization of the National Guard.

#3 Besoeker, Holder sent Gov. Brownback of Kansas a nastygram the other day threatening action against the state if they interfere with federal agents attempting to enforce any federal laws. This was in response to Kansas passing a law prohibiting federal agents from any gun collecting activities via executive order.

#4 Holder and Obama are certainly pushing the envelope. I can tell you State and local Law Enforcement (LE) below the Mason Dixon want nothing to do with these bastids or their Federal enforcers. If an actual conflict or face-off develops, I don't think it will be between civilians [non-law enforcement types].

#5 Well, Holder and Co. have no problem with sanctuary cities ignoring federal laws. So, it's all an issue of power, not principle.

#6 Unknown author:

The American Dream ended (on November 6th) in Ohio. The second term of Barack Obama will be the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest Republic in the history of mankind.

A coalition of Blacks, Latinos, Feminists, Gays, Government Workers, Union Members, Environmental Extremists, The Media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers" have ended Norman Rockwell's America.

The Cocker Spaniel is off the front porch...the Pit Bull is in the back yard.

The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and Chicago shyster, David Axelrod, along with international Socialist George Soros will be pulling the strings on their beige puppet to bring us Act 2 of the New World Order.

Our side ran two candidates who couldn't even win their own home states, and the circus fattster Chris Christie helped Obama over the top with a glowing "post Sandy" tribute that elevated the "Commander-in-Chief" to Mother Teresa status.

People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will never again comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.

You will never again out vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take Zealots, not moderates--not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.

Those who come after us will have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to "white guilt" and political correctness.....

Can't speak for other States, but in Texas the Feds will be facing the State Police, Militia and however many people they can deputize. There won't be any shortage of volunteers.

#8 This act may be rebellion by definition, but then our founders were also rebels, and I am confident that they would agree that such an overreach by the Fed should be met with a solid wall of resistance. At this point, we've merely traded one tyranny for another.

#9 Besoeker, I don't remember writing that, but I certainly could have...

#10 "I would suggest these state laws criminalizing federal activities are just one step short of outright rebellion."

Works for me, CF.

I'm sick of those worthless bastards. They need to start following the actual Constitution - for a refreshing change.

#11 Breitbart link to KS and MO bills

In short, it is a statement verifying that firearms, ammunition, and accessories made and used in the State of Kansas are not subject to the Federal Interstate Commerce powers.

Snippit of Holder's fast and furious response:
"Federal officers who are responsible for enforcing federal laws and regulations in order to maintain public safety cannot be forced to choose between the risk of a criminal prosecution by a state and the continued performance of their federal duties," Holder wrote.

The law also bans federal or other agents from enforcing federal regulations in the making or sale of Kansas-made firearms.

Holder said a state "may not criminalize the exercise of federal responsibilities" and that all federal laws remain in effect.

(Also passed in KS was a loosening of the CC restrictions, with such statements, in my own words, if a public building or area cannot guarantee security at every entrance, then conceal carry is allowed in that building. It is a very broad and open resolution. Both items passed with almost unanimous backing in the Kansas Congress.)

Seems a good opportunity to admit my eye rolling at Mr. Brownback's presidential bid in '08 was very, very wrong. We now have voter ID, are among the supporters of drug testing my in-laws whose idea of prepping for a job interview is a six pack, and his business initiatives are very agreeable as well. Glad to be wrong.
