Dennis Henigan on States' Rights

The Huffington Post published an article by Dennis A. Henigan reminding progressives that it's our Constitution too. He referred to what he called "Firearms Freedom" laws, the ones I said were in the process of being "slapped down."

There is little doubt that the federal courts will make mincemeat of these "Firearms Freedom" laws. The first ruling came down last week, as a federal magistrate judge in Montana struck down that state's law. Agreeing with the Brady Center's brief, the judge found the law flatly unconstitutional under decades-old Supreme Court precedent recognizing federal authority to regulate entirely intrastate activity if exempting that activity would undercut federal regulation of interstate activity.

What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

  1. Care to ellaborate, FWA?

    Or does a simple GWA "Hogwash" act as the last word in the matter since you can't say anything intelligent?

    And people wonder why I think the founding fathers would have been tories if they saw how the US has turned out.

    "This brought on the war which finally separated the two countries, and gave independence to ours. Whether this will prove a blessing or a curse, will depend upon the use our people make of the blessings which a gracious God had bestowed upon us. If they are wise, they will be great and happy. If they are of a contrary character, they will be miserable. Righteousness alone can exalt them as a nation. Reader, whoever thou art, remember this; and in thy sphere, practice virtue thyself, and encourage it in others.“--Patrick Henry

  2. No need to elaborate. Pretty much everything Dennis says is hogwash. In case you haven't followed his past ramblings, he is a nutcase, a liar and he hates America and the Constitution.

  3. And your basis for saying "he hates America and the Constitution" is????

    FWA, I find it amusing that you can defend Ted Nugent:

    Shouldn't Teddy boy have been volunteering to kill commies if he truly loved his country?
