Last week, Wyoming fired the proverbial first shot. Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee followed soon. And now, the battle has spread to a state that President Obama himself carried: Virginia. The Virginia Pilot reports the Virginia House of Delegates recently voted a bill out of committee that would effectively ban Virginia’s law enforcement community from enforcing any new regulations on gun rights by the Federal government. This experiment in what looks an awful lot like the constitutionally discredited tactic of nullification, however, may be less inflammatory than it appears at first blush. The original Virginian-Pilot story suggests that Virginia’s gun rights advocates think the bill is simply a symbolic bit of posturing with no actual power:

| Totally hypothetical question, but I got to ask: Would anyone be willing to give up their guns for Federal legalization and acceptance of marijuana use similar to alcohol? Not saying this could or would happen, but in the .00000001% chance Obama and Congress came out and asked “My fellow Americans, will you join me in making America safer by giving up your guns and picking up a bong?” How would you react? | |

| Why would anyone give up a right, only to have a right they should already have... ______________ also that statement about guns and bongs... [pic] !!in hilarious, but would be a huge political disaster... "Hey lets legalize a drug, but take away means of protection"... it would be Bad...

| nullification is Constitutional. States Rights over all, the Federal Govt was given powers for border control, national defense, and commerce regulation only | |
