This is our recourse
The Blaze – What is our recourse when our own government criminalizes our most basic rights while it allows Black Lives Matter and Antifa to rampage through our streets with impunity? Is there no Plan B when the federal or state governments treat all conservatives like terrorists, business owners like pariahs, and those who yearn to breathe unmasked air like murderers? Well, one Missouri county is demonstrating the importance of sheriffs and county officials returning to self-government and interposing between the governmental usurpers and the most sacred rights of the people.
On Feb. 3, the Newton County, Missouri, Commission passed a bill that will not only block federal enforcement of unconstitutional gun policies, but criminalize their implantation thereof within the jurisdiction of the county. The “Second Amendment Preservation Act of Newton County Missouri” declares that “all federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations passed by the federal government and specifically any Presidential Administration whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution shall be invalid in the county.”
That section of the Missouri constitution reads as follows:
That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories typical to the normal function of such arms, in defense of his home, person, family and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned. The rights guaranteed by this section shall be unalienable. Any restriction on these rights shall be subject to strict scrutiny and the state of Missouri shall be obligated to uphold these rights and shall under no circumstances decline to protect against their infringement.Specifically, the ordinance targets federal policies that order the tracking or registering of firearms of ammunition, an idea that Democrats have been floating recently. It also bars the enforcement of any effort to confiscate guns except from those who are “suspected criminals.” [snip]
It is to be hoped that this will spawn a debate in the country over what citizens should do when the higher levels of government violate the very essence of the social compact by wielding one executive power after another to confiscate the most foundational of natural rights…

The evil Left will not let this stand.
This is a short lived victory
They will:
– Withhold all Federal funds
– Send teams of lawyers to sue
– Dox every Republican politician that voted for this
– Send the media to find some social justice shortcomings
Until capitulation
Nice sentiment though
(Do I know the script or what?)
When other states follow, it’s gonna be very interesting.
Awwwww YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! 😎
We-sistance is futile Gulag America.
We let them get away with stealing an election and are now letting them get away with destroying the truths that are self-evident.
If you resist or refuse to agree you are an extremist, bigot, priveleged, or an overall racist that needs to be re-educated. They are always right and your are always wrong – you are obsolete.
They stole the election nand the right to govern – now grovel bitches.
Joe Biden is not, never has been, nor ever will be the legitimate President of the United States. And we are letting him get away with it!!!
Take that article, or that idea, and show the people in your county or state. Leave it on the gun sites you go to.
This isn’t the only state doing this. There are also states developing laws (South Dakota just passed theirs) to nullify Biden’s EOs.
How much push back can they absorb? We keep pushing. Keep up the resistance. Join together and just say, “Turnabout is fair play”!
Keep the windmill knocking them in the heads, over and over.
Support your state when they make efforts like this. Stop whining and DO something! Find a true patriot to primary your local and state RINOs. That’s what I’m going to do with the creep we elected to replace Justin Amash when we scared him out of his Fed Rep seat. He couldn’t take our heat; calls, emails, protests. He quit. Then we voted for Meijer; what a mistake. But we are getting better at this.
Do something.
Agreed, Claudia. Push push push.
It should be burnt into every states constitution.
How about their bosses?

I live in Illinois. What do I do, besides move?
Pay attention to your sheriff’s too. A good sheriff is king of the county and he decides which laws he’ll enforce.
{Lately the left has been making efforts to take sheriff positions around the country so pay attention.
{I like the one in Ocala, “If any of the antifa come to your home blow them back out the door!”
Anymouse, start local. I have some good government in my precinct, but the state needs help. I’m going to keep my eyes on my precinct for state Rep and Senate.
I’m not sure we will be successful with getting rid of the Federal Rep for my district, but I’m tired of doing nothing.
Every step helps.
I love this, but big tech will help the federal jack-booted thugs. Cashless society? You will comply or they will take your electronic money from you. This will be a big fight.
I love this idea….it’s making me hard.
All military, law enforcement personal and Judges should be required to repeat their vows on a regular basis and be held responsible for any deviations from such promises.
This works unless you live in St. Louis
This doesn’t seem fair. I mean really, the FBI spends most of it’s time getting shot to hell. Unless of course they’re sniping young woman in Idaho. Or shooting some old unarmed guy in Oregon. Fucking pussies.
There are good ideas here about what I can do as a citizen. Elect sheriffs like this guy. Pressure my reps and town & county governments etc. These local guys have some political power to leverage.
As the leftists used to say, think globally, act locally.

You bet. However realize this, when the SHTF they will arrest the Sheriff first, and then come after you. They’ve already done it.
Anyone who has sworn to defend and uphold the Constitution (and its associated Amendments) and fails to do that is an Oath-Breaker and a Traitor.
In other words, a Liar before God and a Traitor to his Country.
Arrest seems rather tepid. What follows arrest is what’s important.
