U.S. Attorney General William Barr was in Memphis on Wednesday to announce the launch of a new federal gun control program, Project Guardian. The AG promises to enforce federal gun regulations “with a vengeance.”

As President Trump is facing mostly manufactured charges of committing impeachable offenses, his attorney general is committing actual offenses against the Constitution, namely infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms, as protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“I have long believed that the first duty of government is to protect the safety of our citizens,” Barr told the press gathered to cover the kick-off of the gun buying crackdown.

Actually, Mr. Barr, the federal government was NOT given the power by the states to protect the citizens of those states.


The scope of federal authority was very succinctly explained by James Madison in Federalist 45:

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce.

Notice that among the “few” powers granted by the states to its agent, the federal government, you will not find the power to disarm civilians.

In fact, the Second Amendment to the Constitution explicitly forbids the federal government from trespassing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Consider this: If the federal government is going to prosecute “with a vengeance” its plan to prevent the purchase of firearms by those it considers unsafe, is that not tacit admission that the government fears an armed populace?

I had just got done watching Ken Berns Civil War documentary series...it appears the "Civil War" still rages on. At the start of the bloodiest war in American history, it wasn't just about slavery...it was about a federal government overstepping its boundaries, and they continue to do so today.
 
Let’s just assume I’m incited to an appropriate level of anger and frustration and move on to the important stuff: Do you have any actual details on what they plan to do?

In reading your question, my mind goes to Revelations KJV.
 
it wasn't just about slavery

I am not a historian, however I believe our 1st Civil War started over "States Rights" which slavery was one of many issues.

I don't believe slavery became a "Primary Issue" until the North started losing the war and Lincoln started allowing slaves from the South to escape their plantations, join the Union Army and become or Earn(?) their Freedom.

Oddly, the same deal or arrangement was not extended or offered to slaves in the North.

Who's ZOOMING Who?

You're spot on my friend.

My guess would be to try to elevate any crime committed with a gun to federal court over state court. My problem with this is as was said above, the powers of Uncle are expressly numerate, defined, and limited. Much of federal “law” is inherently invalid.
