kansas says eff you to federal government

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Wow. I mean, wow.   

[ednksu]

can we get back on track to the real embarrassment Kansas' government has caused the state?

[ednksu]

and Kansas has double downed on stupidity

[michigancat]

Bringing up fast and furious was a total pro move.

No doubt. He should change his title from Secretary to Stud of State.

So Kansas is trying to just do away with background checks for gun owners? Is there some other reason for wasting taxpayer money on this, or are background checks just that big a deal to gun nuts?

Kansas doubled down on awesome. Just trolling the Federal government and driving Libs nuts.

Yeah, spending more than half a million dollars on legal fees to ensure that mentally unstable people can still get their guns seems pretty awesome.

It's not hard to get them. What is the point of spending the money?

Trolling the Federal Government, I guess.

Typical Kansan: "NO ONE IS GONNA TAKE MAH GUNS!!!"

Reasonable Kansan: "No one is trying to, but do you really need an AK-47?"

Typical Kansan: "YES!!! AND IT'S MY RIGHT!"

Reasonable: "For what?"

Typical: "TO PROTECT MAH PROPERTAH!"

Reasonable: "From what?"

Typical: "INTRUDERS AND OBAMA!"

Reasonable: "1. Do you really need a fully automatic weapon to protect your front lawn 76 Chevy collection? 2. Presumably by Obama you mean the federal government. Allow me to introduce you to a little group that the federal government controls, the United States military. You're gonna take them on with an AK? Good luck."

Typical: "...PROTECT ME GUN!!!"

Being that the SCOTUS had deemed the right to bear arms an "Individual Right", you don't get to ask why someone would need an AK.

Well, I guess I'm just too fiscally conservative to support this. Maybe if I were a social conservative, fiscal liberal like you, I would think it's awesome, too.

yeah trolling....except that Kansas is slashing needed money for the poorest and most vulnerable citizens who need state services under the guise of no money.

So this crap isn't funny or something that should be joked about.  People see Kansas as a bunch of idiots who don't understand the constitution and are willing to let people in need get put in precarious position all for this bullshit.  Just wait for when someone is discharged from Osawatomie because they don't have the budget to hold them and they shoot up a school or mall.

Yeah, I wish we were one of those states that didn't have any money and increased services.  That's where we want to be.

As far as knowing what's constitutional, the obama administration probably has less credibility than Kansas, so its kind of a criple fight here.

LOL, at spending a couple hundo to protect your law as usurping public funds.  LOFL.  Red herring of the month there.

[Rage Against the McKee]

At least the majority of of expenditures on services provide some sort of public benefit, economic or otherwise. Kansas is spending hundred of thousands of dollars trying to uphold a law that will most likely decrease gun sales, hurting the economy, while at the same time making it easier for people who can't even pass a federal background check to obtain weapons, reducing public safety.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

How does this law decrease gun sales and what rough ridin' federal background check are you talking about?

Seems like the dumbfucks in Kansas are the people preemptively butthurt about all this crap.

Guess what, if the federal govt sues you, you have to defend yourself.  #thanksobama

[Cire]

The koch bros are trolling all of us

[Rage Against the McKee]

A law like this is likely to decrease gun sales for the same reason Obama being in office has increased them. Most of the people buying them are idiots who only want them because they are afraid they might not be able to get them in the future.

[Rage Against the McKee]

This one.

Red Herring. If anything blame the Feds for trying to push the issue.

Even if this is true, IDGAF what smug assholes from San Francisco and New York think of us. They're idiots in their own rights for fucks sake. This whole 'Facepalm towards Kansas" thing in the Pit just wreaks of insecurity.

Low constitutional, american history, sovereignty, federalism IQ on display here folks.

The other great irony here which really brings FSD's ignorance home is that Kansas and Kobach specifically cite the Fugitive Slave acts in their letter which ended with the SCOTUS emphatically saying that states can't do exactly this.

bullshit.  the Feds should always smash the opinions of ignorant state leaders, especially when it has the potential to interfere with the due course of the justice system.

What is the goal of this law, then?
