Montana too, with an average of 20-27 weapons per household depending on your stats source and 40k+ CCW holders, add some more.

The issue isn't about crime so don't try to rationalize the argument. It's about government control and the registration/confiscation of arms. Why? Because they can't control the population without seizing the arms. I can't believe the NRA still doesn't get it. They constantly prop up the argument of crime and blah blah blah of the law abiding citizens who will do what the government tells them to do based on being lawful citizens. What if nobody stood in line to register their arms? You want to be policed? Then go get in line, you will also get a free shower and warm meal. Oh but I have too much to lose so I must comply. Anyone heard about the Colonist standing in line to register their weapons? Neither did I. Crazy ain't it?:D

It would appear exactly the opposite of it. Behaviors indicate your statements are quite sane if the current direction continues.

The Second Amendment is Not Enough! (GUNS 10.1, Jan64)

Lawmakers plot new strategy for defying gun laws.
 

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 certian federal laws at the same time.

This I like.

Me too - good post.

If Federal laws are superior to state laws then why is Colorado allowing the sale of pot when it is a federal crime? Pick and choose what law you want to enforce.

In a 3 hour interview on Book TV's In Depth program, Mark Levin addressed Nullification with 3 different callers. Searching "nullification" in the Text Timeline below the video player will pull up clickable links that will jump the video to the sections. If you want to do it manually, they are at: 1:48:11, 2:29:57, and 2:45:06. Total, they are probably less than 10 minutes.

Watch it and see if you still agree.

Good post and very informative.

Nullification happened once before in this country and it can happen again. ;)

No disrespect meant by this statement: I believe the NRA gets it and has for a long, long time. Any Association that is that large, powerful and filthy rich, and spends as much time in D.C. as they do? C'mon, they understand it all.:munchin

None taken, but money corrupts and the NRA in my opinion plays chess with the political hacks in DC. Gun Owners of America is, again in my opinion, an organization that will stand fast on the Constitution and not waiver. If you give them an inch they take a mile. We have already seen it the encroachment over the years since the Firearms Act (forgot the year). What defines "Infringement?" BTW, I am a Life Member of the NRA and I do hope they win their cases, the issue is there shouldn't be any cases.

From The American Rifleman (Nov40)

An interesting article and great reminder.

Compare and contrast the British experience described in the subject article to our American experience - one of a gun culture...

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

ETA although the quote above is often attributed to Yamamoto there seems to be some discrepancy whether Yamamoto said this...I don't know. But, I do know that there is unquestioned pragmatism in such an observation.

Hollywood producer to attack NRA in new film.
 

An anti-NRA movie is being planned by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and will star Meryl Streep.

I am a Meryl Streep fan no longer.

And Weinstein? He said that if he would have been alive during the Holocaust he would have armed himself against the Nazis. What a hypocrite.
