They will claim that it is, as they are doing now.

If I remember right the sheriff was from western Nebraska (where I grew up), which means he might have a hard time finding that many people in a 100 mile radius.  But even a much smaller number of western Nebraska patriots with legitimate sporting purpose deer hunting rifles (which anti-gun bigots haven't started calling sniper rifles yet) could provide substantial support, on their home territory.

But there's a question over whether they would.  I like to think they would.  But when Randy Weaver's family was murdered by federal thugs in Idaho, no one got in their way.  A lot of people complained, but no one fought back.  I don't remember whether the local sheriff was on their side though.

Kind of my thoughts from an earlier post. Since the 2nd says "Shall not be Infringed", the only way the Supremacy Clause could be invoked would be after the 2nd was abolished.

And, I believe the Nebraska Constitution states the same message of the 2nd, I believe that the state has the power to levy LB451 as 100% constitutional, both state and federal. That being said, the Supremecy Clause would not apply because the 2nd Amendment is still
"THE LAW OF THE LAND"

thoughts?

Unfortunately the Admins tactics seem to be to "just do it", then play lawyer games in the court system after the fact.
