S.C. GOP goes full bizarro: Militarizes ALL state residents in case of invasion??!!

[paperview]

More ignorance and idiocy from the right.

If enacted this measure would be in violation of the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution.

Federal law and decisions by the Federal courts are binding on the states; Federal law trumps state laws, and the states may not pre-empt, nullify, or otherwise ignore Federal statutes. See: Cooper v. Aaron (1958).

Federal law does not trump the Constitution. The States are given the power to raise militias. The second amendment protects the people's right to own weapons. The 39 ruling states those weapons must be of common usage to the military.

A federal law can not overturn the Constitution. A State that specifies who is in the militia, specifies exactly who MUST own military type weapons.

The Supremacy clause is not a blank check that allows the Fed to violate the Constitution.

No one ever said it did.

A federal law can not overturn the Constitution.

No one ever said it could.

The Supremacy clause is not a blank check that allows the Fed to violate the Constitution.

No one ever said it was.

All acts of Congress are presumed to be Constitutional until a court rules otherwise, including a law banning AR 15s.

Only the courts determine the constitutionality of a given Federal law, not the states. A state law does not trump the Constitution, a state law can not overturn the Constitution, a state law can not pre-empt or nullify a Federal statute or ruling of a Federal court.

If the people of SC, or any other jurisdiction, believe a given Federal law is un-Constitutional, they’re free to file suit and challenge the law in Federal court.

Exactly.

And this lil part of that ridiculous bill

"The unorganized militia may not fall under any law or regulation or jurisdiction of any person or entity outside of South Carolina."

will get tossed out quicker than they can whistle Dixie.

The bill is a pre-emptive move, should Congress pass or the president order gun restrictions, amid the continued debate over the mass killing in December of 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school.

Bill tweaks law on SC's 'unorganized militia' | CharlotteObserver.com

Just wow. When you thought the GOP couldnt get any more bizarre or nutty, especially after Tuesday's "Water-bottle-Gate", then I see this in the news today.

The South Carolina GOP is proposing a law that would exempt all SC militay and unorganized militia from any federal gun laws. They say "heaven forbid" some invading force land on their shores and state residents need to fight them off. Nevermind, you know, the Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Army Guard, Air Guard, state, county and local SWAT teams.........nevermind that, lets assume this invading force has overrun all of those military, state guard and police agencies. Our "militia" and "unorganized militia" must fight them off.

So WHO is part of the "unorganized" militia and regular militia under SC law? ANY state resident over 17. Yep. If you are 17, and live in SC, you are part of the state militia, like it or not. And the GOP says you need to arm yourself in case of their shore being invaded (Remember, they just might defeat our Navy, Army, Marines, USAF, Coast Guard, Army Guard, Air Guard, State Police, county and city SWAT teams.......you'll be all thats left).



The bill says all militia members (aka, anyone in SC over 17) should be allowed to keep any firearms, ammo, accessories, even if banned by Federal law, as part of their militia gear. In a fun note, the acronym for South Carolina Unorganized Militia is "SCUM" haha!


This is what the state GOP is working on. MEANWHILE.......SC roads are crumbling, schools are among the nation's worst, crime rate is among the nations worst, poverty outside the 3 main metro areas is abysmal, and yet, our state GOP reps are more concerned about arming every person in the state over 17 in case our military and police are all destroyed by some unknown landing force that is so powerful it beats all the armed services and domestic forces we have.

Thats the ticket GOP. Throw in a Benghazi reference, and you got a winner!

Funny, that's the SAME EXACT THING one of the Father's of the Bill of Rights, George Mason, said regarding who exactly belongs to the Militia. Seems you're too dense to understand the reasoning behind their thinking. They wish to preserve the integrity of the US Constitution against the oppresiveness of the Federal Govt. You know, much like they did at the start of the 1st Civil War in this nation.

George Mason was a great man, but I don't think you understand that the Founders, George Mason included, were talking about the military taking over the government and not the government taking over the people, because the Founders made it so a government could be voted out.

If you respected Jesus Christ, you wouldn't have a avatar with J C written on it. You run your mouth about fighting our government and use your dad as a Marine for your credentials. I was a Marine and I'm not going to allow anyone to take over the government while I'm alive.

I believe it is a citizens responsibility against tyranny and invasion. Are they just supposed to sit down and get raped and shot? HELL no! Stand your ground!

Republicans have become the party of the schizophrenic, paranoid, and delusional. I'm surprised they aren't requiring all citizens to build underground bunkers, just in case.

Oh my gawd, one state is doing this so that make's ALL REPUBLICANS

1st Civil War? As opposed to the one we are fighting now? Conservatives will lose this one to. An American right wing Christian Taliban is not the way to go.

 

[NYcarbineer]

South Carolina's economy depends heavily on defense spending. If they start jerking the federal government around,

the federal government ought to start shifting that spending out of the state.

First off you scrote sob, I don't "use" anyones credentials, I was a Marine 80-84, (Paris Island, SOI East, 1/8 24th MAU spending almost 7 months in Lebanon, Honorably discharged), as was my Grandfather, Father and oldest son, 0311 as a matter of fact you REMF prick. As for the intent of the Founders, they're own words show your opinion to be full of crap, wrong and not based on anything the Founders said or wrote because they NEVER mentioned anythng ab out the military taking over the govt, they said the EXACT opposite dumbass. They were afraid of the govt using the military to oppress and enslave the people. Educate yourself.

"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms." (Richard Henry Lee, Additional Letters from the Federal Farmer (1788) at 169)

"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- (Thomas Jefferson)

"And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants" (Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787. Taken from Jefferson, On Democracy 20, S. Padover ed., 1939)


"What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty.... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." (Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment [ I Annals of Congress at 750 {August 17, 1789}])

"...to disarm the people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." (George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380)

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States" (Noah Webster in `An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution', 1787, a pamphlet aimed at swaying Pennsylvania toward ratification, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at 56(New York, 1888))

"...if raised, whether they could subdue a Nation of freemen, who know how to prize liberty, and who have arms in their hands?" (Delegate Sedgwick, during the Massachusetts Convention, rhetorically asking if an oppressive standing army could prevail, Johnathan Elliot, ed., Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, Vol.2 at 97 (2d ed., 1888))

"...but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people, while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights..." (Alexander Hamilton speaking of standing armies in Federalist 29.)

"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms." (Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym `A Pennsylvanian' in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1)

"The Constitution shall never be construed....to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms" (Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87)

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike especially when young, how to use them." (Richard Henry Lee, 1788, Initiator of the Declaration of Independence, and member of the first Senate, which passed the Bill of Rights, Walter Bennett, ed., Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republican, at 21,22,124 (Univ. of Alabama Press,1975)..)

"The great object is that every man be armed" and "everyone who is able may have a gun." (Patrick Henry, in the Virginia Convention on the ratification of the Constitution. Debates and other Proceedings of the Convention of Virginia,...taken in shorthand by David Robertson of Petersburg, at 271, 275 2d ed. Richmond, 1805. Also 3 Elliot, Debates at 386)



As for your nonsense about people taking over the govt, you're once agian showing yourself to be a moron. NOBODY is saying anything about taking over the govt, what we ARE saying is we won't allow the govt to run rampant over the rights of people. Now you can be a good little Nazi and follow and support a govt that tramples on the rights of "We the People", that's your right and your choice, but don't expect any accolades from the Patriots in this nation if that's the course of action you take. There's plenty of dirt in this nation for those who wish to see tyranny prevail. Maybe while you're educating yourself on the intents and words of our Founders regarding the need for an armed citizenry you may want to brush up on the words of the Document those Founders used to actually Found this nation, paying close attention to the boldened portions;

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government..............


Now to my shirt. I respect the Lord, I honor the Lord, I follow the Lord and my shirt is actually not only an advertisemet to that fact, as it says JC, the Original Superhero, it is a bold testimony to that fact and a good opening to share the truths of the Lord with others. Now your jesus may be some whimpy assed maggot that is offended by a shirt that calls him a superhero, My Jesus on the other hand is not so easily offended by public proclomations of His greatness and is actually happy with those who proclaim Him publically. Run along now son, it's obvious you have plenty of studying to do.
