States rights vs federal rules is an ongoing power struggle that probably helps balance power in the nation. In recent years, and certainly during the Obama administration, the federal government has become an overreaching, power hungry tyrant, intent on forcing the public to bow to the will of Washington D.C. The battle is especially pronounced when looking at gun legislation, with the federal government intent on forcing nationalized background checks, and states pushing back and issuing more open and concealed carry permits as the nation has become more lawless.
Now it seems that Washington D.C. is going beyond the objective of limiting the rights of citizens to arm themselves, and is determined to give the control to non-American groups such as the U.N. in order to disarm the world.
It is stunning to think that any U.S. bureaucrat would think this is reasonable, and fortunately, there are state legislators that are pushing back and making sure that states rights and citizen rights are not trumped by federal laws, and even more egregious, by international bureaucrats.
This will not stand!

VOTE D.J. TRUMP 2016!
Cut & pasted from Ms Sanchez who gave me permission to pass this along regarding LYIN’ Ted Cruz: A MUST READ IF YOUR CONSIDERING TO VOTE FOR HIM – he’s NOT who you think he is!
This is not surprising. Cruz DOES NOT support our military!

Senator Ted Cruz says he is prepared to defend America, but repeatedly finds a way to vote against that very goal. When we need leadership, Cruz plays politics with America’s national security. Put another way: Cruz is pro-military when he passes a soldier in uniform, but he abandons that same soldier when he does not vote to raise active-duty pay or provide our warriors with the tools they need to accomplish their critical missions. I am a West Point graduate and an Army veteran. In Congress, I represent South Central Kansas, home to McConnell Air Force Base. I am proud to serve on the House Intelligence Committee and every day I see the lifesaving work of our men and women in uniform. I serve with Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina on the Benghazi Committee and came to Congress alongside Trey and South Carolina senator Tim Scott. I also serve with Senator Cruz in Congress. I attended law school with him and was a member of the Harvard Law Review alongside him.
Cruz Voted for Less Defense Spending than Barack Obama
While in the Senate, Cruz has voted for only one budget — a budget that contained less money for our military than President Obama’s left-wing plan to emaciate the military. America is already on track to have the oldest and smallest Air Force in the history of our country, the smallest Army we have had since World War II, and the smallest and oldest Navy we have had since 1915.
–Every Year, Cruz Has Voted against the Most Important Defense Bill While Ted Cruz barnstorms South Carolina saying that he cares about our military and our veterans, his actions tell a different tale. Every year, Congress passes an important bill — the National Defense Authorization Act — that provides for the American military. Senator Cruz has never voted for that law. If your father, sister, cousin, or neighbor defends America, you cannot vote for a man who refuses to vote for them. Cruz joined none other than socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in opposing this same bill — and joined Bernie three years in a row. Senator John McCain described Cruz’s multiple votes against the bill “as a slap in the face to the men and women who are serving.” He is right. In the last three years, this bill has authorized approximately $215 million in necessary funding for military facilities in South Carolina: in Beaufort, Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville. Every time, Cruz opposed the bill. Cruz Voted against Bills that Make It Illegal to Bring Terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to South Carolina South Carolina and Kansas have rich military heritages and proudly host the Consolidated Naval Brig and Fort Leavenworth, respectively, which each house military prisons. President Obama wants to bring terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay to the U.S. and is considering these two locations to house the radical Islamist detainees. Today, bringing these terrorists to American soil is illegal, but no thanks to Senator Cruz. He recklessly voted against making Obama’s moves illegal. So, while Cruz says he wants to keep Guantanamo detainees out of South Carolina, when he had the chance to do something about it, he joined with Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders to vote against it.
