Tennessee Seeks to Nullify Obamacare and All Federal Gun Laws

Posted on January 17, 2014 (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/01/17/tennessee-seeks-nullify-obamacare-federal-gun-laws/) by Tim Brown (http://www.dcclothesline.com/author/tim-brown/)

Tennessee nullification legislation of Obamacare and all federal gun laws is being pushed by lawmakers in the Volunteer State. On one hand lawmakers are pushing new legislation, that if passed, would gut the implementation of Obamacare. On the other hand legislation that is an expansion of the 2009 Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act was introduced yesterday, which is designed to protect Tennessee citizens from Congress’ violations of the Second and Tenth Amendment.

First, SB1680 (http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB1680) is being sponsored by Sen. Mae Beavers (R-Mt. Juliet), along with eight co-sponsors in the Tennessee senate and a companion bill in the House by Rep. Mark Pody (R-Lebanon). The bills would prohibit the state, its officials and agencies from implementing or administering any part of the Affordable Care Act (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/affordable-care-act/).

The bill reads in part:
“No powers, assets, employees, agents or contractors of the state, including any institution under control of the University of Tennessee or the Tennessee board of regents, or any political subdivision, municipality or other local government entity shall be used to assist in implementing the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or any subsequent federal amendment to such act…”


Georgia has introduced similar legislation (http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/display/20132014/HB/707) and this comes on the heels of South Carolina (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/south-carolina/)’s legislation (http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/01/south-carolina-expects-pass-model-legislation-gut-obamacare-freedomworks-asks-states-follow/) to that is designed to gut the massive health care law (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/health-care-law/).

According to the Tenth Amendment Center’s national communications director Mike Maharrey, the idea behind nullification by the states is to cause the federal system to collapse, in order to replace it with a decentralized system at the state level.

“The federal government (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/federal-government/) has no constitutional authority to create or run a national health care (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/health-care-2/) system,” Maharrey said. “On top of that, why would you want them to? Why would you want a monopoly on healthcare, any more than you would want a monopoly on grocery sales? Especially a monopoly run by an entity as incompetent as the federal government.”

“We know the feds counted on the states to do the heavy lifting,” Maharrey continued. “We know the number of states refusing to create exchanges created problems. If enough states simply say, ‘No,’ this monstrosity will collapse under its own weight.”

“This action, especially in conjunction with similar steps being taken in other states, has the effect of nullifying ObamaCare,” said (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2014/01/tennessee-bill-would-virtually-nullify-obamacare-in-the-volunteer-state/) Rep. Pody, echoing Maharrey’s comments.

“If the feds cannot even build an appropriate website or keep their promises to consumers, they will be extremely hard-pressed to implement the other provisions for this program within our boundaries,” Pody added.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday Senator Mae Beavers also introduced legislation to stop the usurpation of the federal government in the area of the Second Amendment (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/second-amendment/). SB1607 (http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/SB1607.pdf), 2014 Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act, was introduced to cut the legs out from under any federal gun laws.

The legislation seeks to delete an entire section of the Tennessee code and replace it with the following:

(a) Any federal enactment or federal enforcement action relating to firearms, firearm accessories or ammunition, is void in this state.
(b) Any federal enactment or federal enforcement action impacting or infringing upon the rights of individuals or entities relative to firearms, firearm accessories or ammunition, is void in this state.
(c) No public official, employee, or agent of this state or any of its political subdivisions shall act, aid, or otherwise cooperate to impose, collect, enforce, or effectuate any fine, penalty, or other federal enactment or federal enforcement action in this state.
(d) Any enforcement of, or attempt to enforce, any federal enactment or federal enforcement action against any individual or entity in this state is an infringement of the civil rights of the individual so affected, and with respect to any such entity, such action is a violation of the rights of each individual having an ownership or membership interest in such entity.



Additionally, the bill would make it an “offense to knowingly enforce or attempt to enforce any federal enactment or to further assist any federal enforcement action.”

The person violating the legislation would be charged with a Class A misdemeanor on the first violation and a Class C felony on a second or subsequent violation.

A press release (http://wgnsradio.com/tn-firearms-association-releases-information-on-2014-legislative-session-cms-17559) from the Tennessee Firearms Association reads:

The Firearms Freedom Act declares that the States speaking through the US Constitution (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/constitution/) expressly prohibited the federal government from having any regulatory authority over firearms inside the state of Tennessee, and as such no federal firearms law in Tennessee is valid. These prohibitions are most prominent in the wording of 2nd and 10th Amendments. The new push will mandate criminal penalties for any federal or state official attempting to enforce unconstitutional federal firearms laws within the borders of Tennessee. It is also expected to authorize citizens to pursue claims by expressly defining federal firearms laws as intentional civil rights violations.



Executive Director for the TFA John Harris said (http://wgnsradio.com/tn-firearms-association-releases-information-on-2014-legislative-session-cms-17559), “We are closely watching the legislature this year. Any elected official who votes against or works to obstruct the right to keep and bear arms (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/right-to-keep-and-bear-arms/) will likely feel the pain from the voters in their district during their next election.”

“Any elected official in Tennessee who works against this bill is frankly siding with President Obama (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/president-obama/) on gun control,” Harris continued. “If you don’t vote to protect your own citizens and state from Obama’s liberal gun-grabbing agenda, then you are effectively supporting his gun control scheme and the intentional destruction of the Bill of Rights (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/bill-of-rights/).”

This would ultimately rule all federal firearm laws as null and void in Tennessee, something that should have been done (http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/03/all-federal-gun-laws-are-unconstitutional/) when the first federal firearms laws were issued. Well done Tennessee!

World Citizen Asks United Nations to Disarm America: “The World Cannot Stand Idly By”Posted on September 29, 2013 (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2013/09/29/world-citizen-asks-united-nations-to-disarm-america-the-world-cannot-stand-idly-by/) by Mac Slavo (http://www.dcclothesline.com/author/mac-slavo/)
http://shtfplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/world-citizen.jpg

(Pictured: Henry Porter, World Citizen)In his latest article, London Observer writer Henry Porter denigrates American gun owners (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/gun-owners/) by calling us insane and requests the assistance of the United Nations (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/united-nations/) to “disarm the irrational rustics.”
It’s a sentiment shared by many world citizens, as well as about 52% of Americans (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/americans/) who participated in a recent Huffington Post poll (http://www.infowars.com/huffpo-poll-shows-support-for-second-amendment/).

Via Kurt Nimmo of Infowars (http://www.infowars.com/huffpo-poll-shows-support-for-second-amendment/):
Outside of the United States (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/united-states/), where the idea of self-ownership and the natural right of self-defense is at best a dismal concept, members of the corporatized media are calling for armed intervention to put an end to theSecond Amendment (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/second-amendment/).
“But what if we no longer thought of this as just a problem for America and, instead, viewed it as an international humanitarian crisis – a quasi civil war, if you like, that calls for outside intervention?” writes Henry Porter (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/21/american-gun-out-control-porter) of the London Observer. “As citizens of the world, perhaps we should demand an end to the unimaginable suffering of victims and their families – the maiming and killing of children (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/children/) – just as America does in every new civil conflict around the globe.”
Mr. Porter proudly notes that Britons long ago dispensed with EnglishCommon Law – apparently including its precedent, the Magna Carta – and insists that the right to bear arms is an antiquated idea akin to holding slaves.
“Half the country is sane and rational while the other half simply doesn’t grasp the inconsistencies and historic lunacy of its position, which springs from the second amendment right to keep and bear arms (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/right-to-keep-and-bear-arms/), and is derived from English common lawand our 1689 Bill of Rights (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/bill-of-rights/),” he writes. “We dispensed with these rights long ago, but American gun owners cleave to them with the tenacity that previous generations fought to continue slavery.”
Maybe the United Nations can be sent in to disarm the irrational rustics. “This has reached the point where it has ceased to be a domestic issue. The world cannot stand idly by.”
If Mr. Porter had it his way he’d deploy a United Nations force of armed military (http://www.dcclothesline.com/tag/military/)personnel to the United States for the sole purpose of disarming law abiding Americans.
What Mr. Porter apparently doesn’t understand is that the Second Amendment is the very backstop for people like him, who would violate the natural laws of self preservation and property rights by use of force.
Rather than claiming that we fight for our right to bear arms with the tenacity of slave owners, I like to think we fight for this right with the same tenacity that we fought British imperial rule in the late 1700′s. But Mr. Porter didn’t want to make that analogy, for obvious reasons.
Mr. Porter, I will be the very first American to surrender my weapon to you… from my cold dead heads.
My good friend and Army veteran Ed Thomas who has spent many months in a war zone, and who is also the editor of The Daily Sheeple (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/), has a similar message, and one he recently tattooed on his arm expressly for the purpose of informing people like Mr. Porter and other world citizens who have any skewed ideas about how easy such a gun grab might be:

Come and Take It, Mr. Porter.

I don't think they need much fed funds. Sales tax is between 9-10% (fast food restaurants are more like 12%) infrastructure maintenance and repair goes on big time. Other states that get fed funds don't do jack with infrastructure AND charge sales tax plus property tax is I think 4x less than most states. TN is mostly a tourist state. Looks like they manage their funds fairly well. Roadside cleanup crews make the rounds quite often and they are not paid workers, called work release and time off sentence. TN is a funky kind of south, they don't even have White Castles.

Mick For Christs sake! Please at least put a link in there, this is very hard to read with no formatting. It's even worse than that with the HTML markups LOL.

I'd love to see a state unban automatics.

[midnight rambler]

Assholes like Porter will cheerfully send mercenaries to kill gunowners in an attempt to 'save lives' by disarming those who stand ready to practice lawful* self-defense, yet he will dutifully avoid being on the frontline himself just like any other shit-eating collectivist swine.

*lawful under the Law of Nature

Who needs an 'automatic' when one can 'legally' acquire a bumpfire stock?

Looks like a lot of wear and tear on it, any word on reliability and what you can do if/when it breaks down? Single shot etc?

You don't get consistent results with one and i would imagine the accuracy is worse.

[midnight rambler]

That's nonsense. Have you ever fired full auto? I've shot plenty (used to hang out with Dolf Goldsmith and got to shoot just about every one of his vintage machineguns, and Dolf had virtually one of every machinegun and subgun ever made up through the '70s - Dolf's 'vault' was the basement of his house lol). With some practice a bumpfire stock is every bit as controllable as select fire.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDZytndWKLU

[Norweger]

Hehe you know that bumpfire stocks are inferior to the real thing. Quit being argumentative.

[midnight rambler]

Hehe you know that bumpfire stocks are inferior to the real thing. Quit being argumentative.

You're mistaken. It's a major PITA to acquire a NFA weapon (which also takes time along with the full blown background check, five sets of fingerprints submitted, letter from your local chief law enforcement officer, etc., etc.), but anyone can mail order a bumpfire stock and have it in a matter of days (largely under the radar). Not to mention the cost of a select fire NFA weapon can be 15k or more. And the truth is there's no way bumpfire stocks are inferior, in fact there's better fire control with a bumpfire stock (single rounds can be fired even when stock is unlocked, in contrast when on full auto a subgun or machinegun is going to fire more than one round). Additionally many machineguns and subguns (such as the Mac and Thompson subguns) fire from an open bolt, which can be an issue with respect to crap getting into the action while carrying it around ready to fire.

[iOWNme]

The message being sent here is this:

"We want to elect some other guy who will write down on paper that we are allowed to be free".


Is this the battle cry of free individuals, or the whisper of a SLAVE class?

Playing the game of 'politics' inside the system WILL NEVER accomplish anything in the way of individual freedom.

When you realize you own yourself and you have no moral obligation to obey ANYONE outside of your own conscience, you are 99% of the way to real freedom. Until then, you can use up all of your time and energy fighting the system within the system, and you still havent moved an inch towards freedom.


Freedom only exists in 1 place: Inside your own head.
