TEXAS THREATENS TO ARREST ANY FEDS WHO TRY ENFORCING NEW GUN REGS

Texas Proposal: JAIL Any Federal Officials Trying to Enforce New Gun Restrictions in the State

(1200 WOAI) A Texas lawmaker says he plans to file the Firearms Protection Act, which would make any federal laws that may be passed by Congress or imposed by Presidential order which would ban or restrict ownership of semi-automatic firearms or limit the size of gun magazines illegal in the state, 1200 WOAI news reports.

Republican Rep. Steve Toth sayshis measure also calls for felony criminal charges to be filed against any federal official who tries to enforce the rule in the state.

"If a federal official comes into the state of Texas to enforce the federal executive order, that person is subject to criminal prosecution," Toth told 1200 WOAI's Joe Pags Tuesday. He says his bill would make attempting to enforce a federal gun ban in Texas punishable by a $50,000 fine and up to five years in prison.

Yeah, here we are pondering the hypothetical explanations for the mystery of life, and the country is about to fragment over the question of gun control. The NRA and the POTUS are on the verge of a duel and hopefully "Quick draw Obama" doesn't shoot himself in the foot!

Have you noticed that most of what Obama has done in the past 5 years seems to benefit the Republicans and other right-wingers who hate him more than the people who actually voted for him and put him in office?

Now, he came on television yesterday and introduced 23 executive orders.

And if you read them, NOT ONE of them actually bans any guns!

They're all superficial orders that at best support laws that already exist and should have been enforced in the first place, but doesn't go any further than that.

Those much talked about assault-weapons they said were a major part of the problem are still legal. And the high capacity clips are still legal and weren't even addressed in any of the executive orders.

So as usual, he managed to further piss off and unite those on the right who don't trust or like him anyway while doing nothing to benefit his liberal supporters.
