Govenor Bryant Issues Letter

[Deltamud77]

It sounds great in theory...but it has no basis in legal reality. I'd love to see a highway patrolman or sheriff deputy arrest an FBI agent. It could happen...and then the feds cut of the money spicket and we have interstates and highways that look like a bombed out road in Iraq.

Nope. The recent Supreme Court opinion that ruled that the Obamacare individual mandate was constitutional under the taxing power of the federal government, also said that the federal government CANNOT withhold federal funds from the states who refuse to adopt the provisions of Obamacare that cannot be mandated. In other words, the days of the federal government punishing states that do not go along with federal suggestions (such as the 55 mph speed limit, or the 21 year old drinking age) should be over.

FBI agents are not immune from state law ---eg murder.

Po monk, you think Mississippi could successfully sue fedgov for highway funds and fedgov we not generate some defense to overcome the assertion that the decision was only because MS did not respond to Obama gun laws?

You have more faith in our system than I do.

Three Things Have Happened In View Of The Obama EOs Today:
(1) The EOs really don't change anything but result in more spending...typical for a politician...actually not an infringement on anyone's rights as we sit here today though...Bryant should have waited to issue the letter;
(2) Obama's congressional proposals of banning assault weapons (whatever that means) and mag restrictions will not make it to his desk; and
(3) The high prices for guns and ammo are here to stay...the gun makers and ammo makers have seen that the market will bear the ultra-high prices...as such, gun and ammo prices will slide some from their current prices, but will never drop to what they were before the Connecticut shooting.

#3 is a fact!

ummmm, no...the market has only tolerated that for a month and we are already seeing that being dialed back as the panic has started to subside a little after Obama's EO's amounted to nothing, but primarily because the true panic buyers aren't people who already owned 3 AR15s and 3k rounds of .223 stocked up and they are now out of money or have bought what they could justify.

The fight obviously isn't over yet, but I think we will see prices starting to slide back down within the next few weeks/months as stock is replenished.

The manufacturers haven't stopped manufacturing btw...
