Much like Marie-Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI, the Obama Administration has told Montana and Tennessee they have no rights; in essence, ""Let them eat cake.""

The ATF has issued letters to Montana and Tennessee telling them the laws they each passed governing firearms manufactured for sale within their sovereign state borders are moot.

The federal government seems to believe that federal law trumps states' rights, individual rights, and the Constitution, the very contract between the sovereign states to LIMIT the abuses of a federal government!

This may sound insane, but it is REAL. View both letters at the official government ATF site for yourself.

The Obama Administration seems to believe the ""Interstate Commerce Clause"" trumps the 2nd and 10th Amendments.

In case you don't have an Ivy League law degree, worry not, the Bill of Rights was written in simple, plain English.

Any honest lawyer wouldn't even remotely try to twist the meaning of simple English into some perverted lawyer-speak to justify an un-Constitutional power grab by the federal government.

If you continue to sit on your butts and allow this to happen, then you can ""bank"" on this ""stimulating"" the Obama Administration into coming after the rest of your God-given rights, such as the freedom of speech guaranteed by the 1st Amendment, or your protections against unreasonable search and seizure, as guaranteed in the 4th Amendment, or perhaps your right to not be forced to testify against yourself, as guaranteed by the 5th Amendment.

Some of this stuff started long before Obama came into office. George Bush was no different. Neither of these usurpers give a crap about individual rights, or the Constitution.

The Founding Fathers warned us about giving up a little liberty for a little security. They warned us that if we did that, we would end up with, and deserve NEITHER!

The progressive socialists running the U.S. Senate, aka the Democrat Party are poised to confirm a judge to the Supreme Court that summarily rejected the pleas of citizens who were being directly discriminated against, and who refused to acknowledge under oath that the 2nd Amendment guarantees you and I the ""fundamental right"" to protect ourselves, even in our own homes.

There's an old adage out there that says ""When the 1st Amendment fails, use the 2nd."" What happens when you have NO 2nd Amendment rights?

What happens when the 1st Amendment is trampled, AND you have NO 2nd Amendment rights?

Benjamin Franklin warned us with these words over 200 years ago: ""A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.""

The federal government has been nibbling away at the Constitution for 100 years. Now, under the Obama Administration, they are gorging themselves on OUR RIGHTS, and when states and citizens complain, Congress and the rogue Obama Administration say, ""Stop nibbling. Let them eat cake.""

Patrick Henry, in his famous speech said the following that still applies today:

""It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"" -Patrick Henry, 1775

If you aren't on the phone screaming at your Congressman and Senator to stop this TREASON, then you are cowards, and deserve what you get.
