You'd have no idea how we're chomping at the bit to return to our primary objective of covering foreign policy and international affairs. Unfortunately, this great American gunfight keeps fueling more angles than we can responsibly walk away from.
When terms like States Rights, Nullification and the U.S. Constitution enters the 2nd amendment discourse, we're almost compelled to consider the deeper seeded issues heating up within America's heartland. Hence, the Israeli elections, the madness in Mali and the Algerian fallout from the Mali madness will just have to wait for now. Those tales and more require another major attempt to understand and illustrate why Al Qaeda's recruitment message seems so attractive to so many young empty minds.
Today we are following a story about an Oregon Sheriff vowing not to enforce President's gun control proposals if they ever come to fruition. This should be concerning enough, but we're also hot on the heels latest the efforts on the part of several states looking to resurrect the concept nullification for relief. WTF does this really mean?
Here's the what's up on the frontline of the backlash: On Wednesday, the Lone Star State joined five other states already considering legislation that would block enforcement federal firearms acts in violation of the Second Amendment.
The Details: Any federal law, rule, regulation, or order created or effective on or after January 1, 2013 shall be unenforceable in the state of Missouri if the law, rule, regulation, or order attempts to:
(1) Ban or restrict ownership of a semi-automatic firearm or any magazine of a firearm; or
(2) Require any firearm, magazine, or other firearm accessory to be registered in any manner. Maharrey called proactive steps by state legislatures crucial. Wyoming, Tennessee, South Dakota and South Carolina also have similar bills pending before their legislatures.
To date, our research has turned up as many as a dozen more states could follow in instigating similar actions within weeks. Again we ask, WTF does this really mean.
Recently, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was questioned on CNN about his opinion of fellow Law Enforcement officials balking at federal efforts to reduce gun violence. His response was, he wasn't unaware of the issue. This too is major a concern, considering the importance of all law enforcement agencies, be they local, state or federal being on the same page and approaching the maintenance of public safety with a united attitude.
If law enforcement can't agree on how to protect the public, WTF is the public suppose to do. This early in the gunfight, it's impossible to determine what Americans will eventually do to solve the nation's problem with senseless gun violence . But with the country's lust for firearms being so pervasive and the demand for access so vigorously demanded, we're
we to hazard a guess, we say a lot more blood will be spilled before America gets it this right.
