reloader,
passed a couple of days ago by a vote of 92-3
I understand that it passed. It has no teeth., but it is a step in the right direction...Funny I didnt hear a thing about it in the National media.......I agree with the basic intent of the resolution. States typically will not be able to Dictate how the Feds do business, through a resolution.
The seeds of discontent are beginning to grow, and although the media gives no attention to it, eventually, there will be no way they can ignore it.
The State of Montana recently passed a similar resolution, with specific reference made to D.C. vs. Heller. It is the state's position that if the SCOTUS rules the 2nd is a collective right, that constitutes a breach of contract between the U.S. and the state of Montana.

I'm with ya buddy
Good!
One can only hope that this is the beginning of an awakening.
Ignorance and apathy, coupled with continued collectivism, will ensure the loss of the Republic.
Now if we can educate a few citizens about this and the reality of the un-Constitutional actions and scope of our predatory government, maybe.......
