Thoughts on 2A by a politician doing more than warming a chair.
Senator Chris McDaniel
The 2nd Amendment is perhaps the most important recognition of one of our God-given liberties. Indeed, without the ability to resist government tyranny, all other protections found in our Constitution could be ignored by politicians blinded by power.
With that said, let’s see if we can start a movement!
A little-discussed doctrine in Constitutional law is the anti-commandeering doctrine. It basically holds that the federal government cannot require states or state officials to adopt or enforce federal law. The Supreme Court created the doctrine out of the 10th Amendment and related federalism principles in two cases, New York v. United States in 1992, and Printz v. United States in 1997.
Similar concepts appear in Supreme Court decisions as early as the 1800s, but the Court first formally named and applied the doctrine in the 1990s. For many years after that first decision, the doctrine lay dormant: few anti-commandeering challenges were brought against federal action, and even fewer violations were found. In 2018, however, for the first time in two decades, the Supreme Court once again held that a law violated the anti-commandeering doctrine.
Put simply, states have the prerogative to demand their agencies and agents to stand down — that is, to refuse to participate in any federal scheme that would regulate, register, or confiscate firearms.
Without state assistance, the federal government would lack the manpower to enforce its schemes, and your liberty would be protected.
So, do you want to make a difference?

Push them to adopt legislation that would effectively create a 2nd Amendment sanctuary in their states.
Now is the time to make a difference.

Great song Neo, thanks. After all these years I’m becoming a big Steve Goodman fan.
