Rep. Rick Becker, R-Bismarck, says he’s reviving a Bill that would keep local and state law enforcement from enforcing federal gun laws that are more restrictive than the state’s laws.
Becker says he wants to protect the people’s second amendment rights and the 10th amendment right for state sovereignty. He adds there’s no intent in this Bill to be a detriment to law enforcement.
“It doesn’t prevent federal law enforcement from enforcing those laws. It just says to respect the sovereignty of our state, we don’t agree with those law, we’re not going to enforce them,” said Becker. |

| Let's give it some thought on corrupt elected officials being arrested for breaking the oath of office for knowingly attempting to deprive law abiding citizens of their rights. That is a Federal crime. Criminals are arrested when laws are broken, are they not? So where did they all of a sudden get the expanded powers not delegated to them in the Federal Constitution? |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
