[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1165233, member: 4235"] Who made the Supreme Court the sole interpreter of the Constitution? Montana's law is an example of a State deciding that federal law is wrong and unconstitutional, and nullifying it within their boundaries, regardless of what the feds or the Supreme Court or anybody else says about it. This is known as "nullification." It has been done several times throughout our nation's history, starting with the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions (nullifying the Alien and Sedition Acts). One reason I can see the NRA being scared of backing nullification is that a lot of people associate it with segregation and slavery, since nullification was used in support of those things. I know, its an ignorant reason to object to nullification, but I suppose the NRA isn't immune from the disease of PC. Also, I suppose nullification is considered a "radical" or "extremist" strategy by some, maybe even some in the NRA... it could lead to a confrontation between a state and the feds. [/QUOTE]
