...could be over before it's begun. Talking of course about the possibility of gun control laws. Early this year (OK, it's less than 2 weeks old!)
Godfather Politics reminded readers that "
Most people, including politicians fail to realize that the ultimate legal authorities in the land are the county sheriffs". Now things have gone even further with the State of Wyoming
introducing legislation to ban the federal government from enforcing their own bans on some weapons [hat-tip
Weasel Zippers]. This is a call to '
take the Second Amendment seriously' and it's all moot at present because no such new ban/law has happened yet...but if Wyoming’s legislature can convince the courts that federal gun regulations are themselves unconstitutional it could stymie the current supremacy clause, '
which holds that enforceable federal laws trump state laws when they conflict.' Now, as we know, all this new hoohah stems directly from the latest shooting tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School and the rumours/conspiracy theories about that, which started almost
immediately after the massacre, are getting weirder and louder [hat-tip
Captain Ranty] with - amongst other things - condolence/donate pages being set up in the names of the victims
BEFORE the incident!!!???

as you say getting weirder. One thing I would say regarding the donate pages is that I heard somebody say on the radio that despite conventional wisdom the dates on these pages can actually be backdated although I understaand Facebook are a little reluctant to advertise or confirm this.
Yep...bit bloody scary actually! Re the dates, I thought that too: many cases of similar things but when there are 4 or 5 such wrong dates all about this one issue then it looks a bit more than a blip.
