President Trump's 2 A notice to States

[Scruffy]

President Trump puts the states on notice not to infringe on the 2A.  Ferguson will be changing his pants.  This will be interesting

[safehunter]

 Well, it's about time!
 Why are firearm manufacturers still paying excise tax on products that they can no longer sell in certain states?
 I hope the feds now threaten to take away all Pittman-Robertson funding from states like ours that do not allow the selling of certain firearms which are Legal in most other states!

Turdeson needs a one wsy trip to the train station.

[MADMAX]

Yes 

[Fidelk]

Good.

[bigmacc]

Good.

Yep, we would never see a Democrat do this or even possibly a mainstream republican for that matter. Trump thinks outside the box, even after a couple assasination attempts the guy is still an advocate for the 2nd and for gun ownership.

[CedarPants]

I'll have to do some digging later tonight to see what cases are currently under review at the Federal level out of Washington State (since it sounds like that is how this will shake out for the States, unless I interpreted it wrong). A good thing no matter what, was more just thinking out loud.

An even better step would be an order halting anything being passed at the State level regarding 2A until it could at least pass a sniff test by SCOTUS (as opposed to Olympia just ramming things through and thinking it will be several years .... if at all ... before it's merit gets tested by SCOTUS). I know that's a slippery slope and would open up Pandora's box for other things, but sooner or later the powers that be in Olympia are going to have to .... one way or another ... answer to the citizens of this State regarding 2A.

[Fidelk]

I don't think that the FFs viewed the 2A as something to be fiddled with by the various states. Courts need to rule that all American citizens enjoy all Bill of Rights protections. No difference depending on what state lines surround you.

Agreed.

Trump is giving Bondi the authority to make a plan and execute it, it's up to Bondi to show us how far she will go, I hope she will be the champion I think she is. More Winning...

Not sure that a post suggesting the govonor  needs to be killed (as anyone familiar with "yellowstone" knows what a trip to the train station means) is really a wise thing  to allow on a hunting forum. Some authorities might not see any humor in it.

I took it as a tongue in cheek comment, I doubt it lacked any seriousness, and I have actually used that phrase jokingly a few times myself. I certainly can't see that its any worse than actions suggested by elected officials and media telling people to take out Trump!

Why should we have to wait years for the courts to throw out unconstitutional laws. Put a process in place to review constitutional  infringements before they can be implemented.
And every law abiding citizen nation wide should have the same rights.

Don't think these days lots of people (and LE) are taking these types of comments as tongue-in-cheek.  Tense times right now, kinda like being on a plane and kidding about having a bomb. Son in law enforcement tells me everyone is on a very high alert and  very concerned about political violence possibilities. Poor timing for jokes.

Maxine Waters:  https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/24/politics/maxine-waters-gold-star-family-cnntv/index.html

In reply to your comments, I'm sure law enforcement is on high alert and they should be. But I don't think the comment about the "train station" was any more serious in regards to actual violence than Maxine Waters' comment!

Tense times? Joke right? Might be the most gleeful we've had in a long time.

Its amazing that we have gotten to a point where a president willing to stand and protect the amendment is considered a bold move isn't it?! Good on you potus!

[MADMAX]

We need all the help we can get in this fine state
Thank you President Trump


Dropping a Fergie ?
Ha
He’s an overrated ambulance chaser

[Cougartail]

Inslee could drop a fergy with no effort and without needing to wipe.

That's how big of a donkey hole he is.

[KNOPHISH]

How do we determine if he’s dropping a Ferg or just a wee?

I believe that's what the House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee and Senate Law & Justice Committee are supposed to be for.

[Cougartail]

Having the "judiciary" guarding our rights is like having a pack of coyotes guarding your chicken coup.

The Second Amendment was to guard the citizens from the government but the fatal flaw is the government controls  the meaning of the Second Amendment.

I want to make sure that "one way trip to the train station" is not breaking the forum rule of advocating illegal activity. What I know that saying to mean from the show Yellowstone is that a "one way trip to the train station" means to kill someone.

I don't see how anyone can seriously think the comment was anything but "tongue in cheek"? Have the Onion or Babylon Bee been stopped from printing satire?

Another consideration, the political board is a closed group, you can't read it unless you specifically subscribe to this board, so the general public does not see this board, that is by design.

Yeah, I'd agree that it's not super clear whether the order allows the AG to investigate individual State-made laws. The Fact Sheet sure makes it seem focused on federal only, Biden Admin era laws/rulings.

I think this is a good start, the order is specifically for the federal government, in the first paragraph:

STOPPING FEDERAL INFRINGEMENT ON CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to end the federal government’s violation of Americans’ fundamental Second Amendment right to protect themselves, their families, and their freedoms.

Where it could make a big difference is when state's issues are appealed to higher federal courts. Let's see what AG Bondi does and what happens with the states now that we have this order by the president redirecting the federal government.
