The Confederate States of the Gun [View all]

The right-wingers in the Red states of the South are threatening the arrest of any Federal agents who attempt to enforce Federal gun regulations in their jurisdictions. Makes you proud to be an American doesn't it?

"Having failed in an earlier effort to bar federal agents from enforcing gun regulations in Missouri, conservative lawmakers are trying a new tack this year: banding together with other like-minded states to defy certain federal laws at the same time.

Supporters believe it will be more difficult for the federal government to shrug off such statutes if more states act together.

Missouri's latest proposal, introduced this past week, would attempt to nullify certain federal gun control regulations from being enforced in the state and subject law enforcement officers to criminal and civil penalties for carrying out such policies

Missouri Gun Death Ranking: #19

"Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant called on his state’s legislators to pass a law that would make “any unconstitutional order by the President illegal to enforce in Mississippi by state or local law enforcement.” Additionally, State Rep. Chris Brown is drafting legislation exempting Mississippi gun manufacturers from federal regulations."

"In Tennessee, a state legislator is calling for the arrest of federal agents who seek to enforce gun laws, while Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas has called for Obama’s impeachment."

It isn't federal agents that need to be arrested -- it is Red State right-wing, ALEC/Koch Brothers/NRA bought-and-paid-for politicians who need to be arrested for corruption and public endangerment. They are an embarrassment not only to this nation, but to civilized people the world over.
