Texas senator files measure to turn entire state into a “gun sanctuary,” nullifying ALL federal gun control laws

Posted on March 11, 2019

By J. D. Heyes

In October 2017, in direct defiance of POTUS Donald Trump’s efforts to crack down on so-called “sanctuary cities” through the enforcement of all federal immigration laws, then-California Gov. Jerry Brown signed landmark legislation declaring the entire state a sanctuary for illegal aliens.

The Democrat super-majority ruling the Golden State celebrated the legislation as a rebuke of the president, but in reality, what SB 54 really does is hinder the federal government’s immigration authority.

No matter, as The Los Angeles Times reported then:

Legal experts have said federal officials may try to block the law in court to keep it from being implemented. Some doubt such challenges would be successful, pointing to the 10th Amendment and previous rulings in which courts have found the federal government can’t compel local authorities to enforce federal laws.

I love it!!  What will the Supreme Soviet, Nazi Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer, et al, complain about?  Oh, they'll come up with something but it won't outweigh the murders, rapes, drug flow, gang warfare, welfare cost, education cost, medical cost , or housing costs of "sanctuary cities." *hmmmm*

So, if California can be an illegal alien sanctuary state, then Texas can be a legal gun ownership sanctuary state.  It would seem that Texas would have the stronger case, but probably not in the upside-down nation we now live in.

Texas should turn the entire state into its own independent republic.

I'm coming more and more to that line of thinking daily!

Its time we acknowledge the Left has slipped the bonds of the US Constitution, at least those provisions which do not suit them. They just haven't issued the press release yet.

And, they won't until the transition is irreversible.

It is a thing.  What that thing is, is debatable.

I'd like to see more states do this.

It's an expansion of what we're seeing happen with county sheriffs in some blue states and it's a good thing.

The push back against tyranny has to start at the lowest level to be successful.

@Sanguine
Sure is a thing. I've been to some meetings. They are working tirelessly in the Texas legislature.

California - illegal sanctuary
Texas - 2nd Amendment sanctuary.

Yet more evidence that the nation is "dividing", perhaps irreconcilably.

How much time left 'til the next "Fort Sumter" ??

Well, not until THEY think so. They may be in for a surprise.

The only conclusion one can come to is that this is not mere stupidity.
It is an ongoing effort to destroy the basic fabric of America, using our very conventions against us for as long as possible, to weaken the nation through divisive social means to the point that resistance will be minimal and the ability to resist compromised.

God help us all if it goes beyond the ballot box and Courts.

We need His help if we are to avoid that, as well.

Texas should turn the entire state into its own independent republic.

I find myself thinking about this almost daily. I love America and have felt so profoundly grateful to have been born an American, but now I believe I'm looking at its rapid demise as a constitutional republic. I want off this ship before it sinks. I'd be happy to "start over" in Texas with a new constitutional republic (as America was intended to be). Then we must take extreme care to never make the same mistakes that has brought America to such a precarious place, keeping in mind the cautionary words of Ronald Reagan: If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.

P.S. I recently took the CHL class. The things I learned regarding our gun laws vs. other states made me so thankful to be a Texan. There are no words sufficient to describe how I love Texas -- for a jillion reasons. The gun laws are just the cherry on the sundae!
