An Act to Nullify and Interpose
Against Federal Infringements of Arms
The federal government is rapidly becoming a fully illegitimate tyranny, and it is seizing ever-more powers to itself to allow for the persecution of dissidents, and the prevention of any resistance. This cannot be allowed to continue unchecked, and the first proper check on the federal leviathan is the State. As such, I offer the following text as proposed legislation around the issue of the many infringements of the second amendment currently, and soon to be, in existence.
This must be done, as even a SCOTUS decision as sweeping as the Bruen has not managed to restrain the Executive and Legislative branches for attempting to disarm their opposition. There is no structure at the federal level capable of restraining itself, or the federal leviathan more broadly. This remains true even if a staunch populist conservative is elected in 2024 – the entrenched bureaucracy would never allow it.
Therefore, it falls to the states. What brave men and women might take it up?
The Text
An Act to Nullify Federal Unconstitutional Firearms Infringements and Interpose on Behalf of Citizens of the State
The Federal leviathan, unbound by written purpose and unmoored from eternal principle, now runs roughshod over the natural rights of the citizens of the several states, seeking the arbitrary control thereof through infringements of Constitutionally enumerated freedoms of arms, thereby leaving the citizen subject to arbitrary detention, punishment, and prosecution, whereby those dissidents of illegitimate regimes have been historically persecuted.
It is the solemn duty and purpose of the State of _________, as a lesser magistrate, to nullify these tyrannies, and interpose itself on behalf of the citizens against such illegitimate federal dictates, laws, and actions of enforcement as is outlined in the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Constitution of the State of _________, and is the necessity of conscience and right reason in preservation of the natural rights of the people thereof.
Therefore, it shall be the official position of the State of ___________ to view all federal laws, dictates, executive actions, orders, and regulations pertaining to the control, limitation, ownership, bearing, or use of arms as illegitimate, and enforcement actions of the same by any person or entity barred within the borders of this State under penalty of arrest and prosecution, and further recognizing the natural right of self-defense by any citizen against such enforcement actions within this State.
