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

 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!

Yes

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.

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.

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!

Exactly

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.

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!
