S.21-4.8: Truman Says Guns are Legal Again (Tabled)

[reagente]

TRUMAN SAYS GUNS ARE LEGAL AGAIN ACT

Whereas, the region of Fremont passed the Plain Packaging Act which directly contradicts, violates, and nullifies a lawful statute of the government of Atlasia, and;
Whereas, the Plain Packaging Act, a regional law, was drafted and carried into execution by the sitting Attorney General, Harry Truman, and;
Whereas, despite the obvious conflict of interest the Atlasian Attorney General has opined that the Plain Packaging Act, a regional law, supersedes contradictory Atlasian statutory law regardless of the Supremacy Clause of the Atlasian Constitution on the grounds that we “demonstrate … genuine attachment to the principle of regional rights. If … not, we shall know that all this talk of federalism is a humbug and merely a flimsy disguise for their putative devotion to the monied interest. We call on all the friends of labor to stand firm against the combination of the communists and fascists in their war on regionalism. This war we must and shall win for the liberty of all Atlasians under the constitution.”, and;
Whereas, the sitting Attorney General, Harry Truman, has determined that regional nullification of an Atlasian statute is appropriate when regional rights and the liberty of the people are threatened, that failure to engage in such regional nullification benefits communists and fascists, and that the Atlasian Department of Justice would not enforce a nullified Atlasian law;
Now, therefore, we the Chamber of Delegates of the Southern Region, under the principles of comity and regional equality, do hereby ordain and resolve the following:
1. That it is position of the Chamber of Delegates of the Southern Region that the Federal Assault Weapon and Automatic Weapon Ban Act, an Atlasian statute violates regional rights and the liberty of the people.
2. That accordingly, the Federal Assault Weapon and Automatic Weapon Ban Act is hereby nullified within the legal jurisdiction of the Southern Region. No local, State, or Regional money or resources shall be expended in the enforcement of this statute, nor shall any local, State, Regional, or Atlasian employees or agents shall enforce, or attempt to enforce, this statute within the Southern Region.
3. That any provision herein found to be unconstitutional by a court of proper jurisdiction shall be severable from the remainder of this act.

Hell yeah

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

The Assault Weapons Ban passed federally was really dumb, poorly crafted, and goes against the views of what so many Atlasians believe (especially here in the South). While I am optimistic about the prospects of it finally being fully repealed by the incoming new Senate, the South should make its voice heard.

This is beautiful

This is literally not legal

[Mr. Reactionary]

This is literally not legal

Neither is the Plain Packaging Act and yet the Attormey General and Supreme Court have upheld that blatantly illegal law in the grounds of regionalism. So that means nullification is now legal. If youre upset blame the AG for starting this.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

What are the current laws on the books, anyway?
