good point there, originally it was made illegal most likely because it would basically bankrupt the textile industry... other than that, look at the state of cali. i wanna say in the year 2011 i think it was, i read in rolling stone magazine that the state of california made 14 BILLION in PROFIT... not money back, PROFIT, due to the medicinal marijuana industry.... could you imagine the revenue acquired if it were legalized, between that and medicinal use we could wipe our debt clean and bring the US dollar back to a 100 percent accepted world currency and most likely the highest worth the dollar has ever had. washington and colorado had the right idea, i hope vermont's next!!

What would you know about it, you powerless British supplicant. God save the queen!

We own firearms so that we don't become another Hitler-era Germany. You remember Hitler right, the guy who almost conquered England? You know you would be speaking German right now and eating braunschweiger if it hadn't been for Americans and their guns.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

2 political subdivision, or any federal firearms dealer licensed under 19 U.S.C. Section 923
3 to enforce or attempt to enforce any act, law, statute, rule, or regulation of the federal
4 government relating to a personal firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition that is owned
5 or manufactured commercially or privately in the state of Missouri and that remains
6 exclusively within the boundaries of the state of Missouri.
7 2. Any official, agent, or employee of the federal government who enforces or
8 attempts to enforce any act, order, law, statute, rule, or regulation of the federal

Thank God Almighty.
I can now sleep a little easier tonight knowing that this could pass.
Go Missouri!!!!

Edit to add: Not that I personally own any firearms because I DON'T but I know people who do.
Strike that, I don't know ANYONE who does but I have heard rumors about people who do and today is a great day for THEM, NOT ME!!

Except for the tiny fact that the Constitution specifically states in Article VI that Federal Laws trump any State Laws.

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary

Darn that pesky Constitution.

Did you know that the Luftwaffe couldn't fly without an engine fluid addition that was only made by Standard Oil, and was sold to the Nazis in contravention of the Trading with the Enemy act, and that banking services for the Nazis were made possible by Prescott Bush, again, in contravention of the Trading With The Enemies act?

So much for American assistance to the British.

I'm just curious. All this talk of the Constitution. Is this document, that was written over 200 hundred years ago by people who had agendas and circumstances that you can't even begin to understand, the sole inspiration for this adamant confrontation of any appearance of infringement on this perceived right? Or is this something deeper in your own personality.

I certainly don't want to question anyone's motives, but I think some judgements are certainly impaired.

The Constitution is most certainly a flawed document if it's purpose is to maintain the united nature of the states participating in this union. In the short history of this country ( and I hesitate to call this a country, more like a loose affiliation of dominions.) a lack of commitment to the federal or supreme government has been on display often, the most visible being the Civil War. Remember that blood bath? I assume that commitment of Abraham Lincoln to insure the continuation of this union is still strong.

I suggest that the strong individualism of many Americans is about to be tested. I also believe it is to come up wanting. Those who want to defy the national government will soon be identified as enemies of the state and in this conflict power will prevail. Righteous reference to the Founding Fathers and homilies of individual liberty, will mean little in the aftermath of the death and destruction that will ensue.This ain't a game you play in the field with your friends shooting at paper targets. Is the will there to die and have your family stripped of their home and livelihood?

To quote Mr. Heston, " You'll pry this gun from my cold dead hands." Maybe they will. And just maybe It'll be the correct thing to do.
