NEW POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
----------------------------<br />
<br />
In South Carolina virtually all federal gun control measures - past, present and future - would be effectively blocked if two bills filed for consideration pass into law.<br />
<br />
Senate Bill 117, entitled the South Carolina Firearms Liberty Act, is similar to bills under consideration in both Texas and Kentucky. It would ban enforcement of all federal acts restricting firearms, accessories and ammunition within the state. It reads, in part:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; State and local law enforcement officials are prohibited from enforcing any act, law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States government relating to a personal firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition that is possessed, owned, or manufactured commercially or privately in South Carolina and remains exclusively within the borders of South Carolina.<br />
<br />
While the only opening for enforcement would be newly-purchased firearms brought in from other states, the act would grandfather in all that are currently-owned and prohibit the state from enforcing federal restrictions on them. <br />
<br />
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano agreed. In a recent televised discussion on the issue, he noted that a single state taking this step would make federal gun laws &quot;nearly impossible&quot; to enforce.<br />
<br />
Refusing to participate with federal enforcement is not just an effective method, it has also been sanctioned by the Supreme Court in a number of major cases, dating from 1842. <br />

<br />
Nothing done in government in todays culture is above board. I've worked with most of the folks who &quot;hide in the shadows&quot; IE Michigan Advocacy Trust. its all about control by the establishment; and to BS the locals and voters. When I first started monitoring government budgets at the state level it was $2.8 billion dollars annually its now 53 Billion annually ? The state population has declined and there use to be one secretary for every 2 state legislators !! So whats happened we have as much narcissistic republicans many with no life experience just like the democratic party!<br />
How come this republican gov has spent 5 billion tax dollars more than when Granholm was in the govs office ? it should have been part time long ago !! I worked in the Clerks office in the State House so I know what Im talking about and worked on every budget moving through the legislature. All that is necessary for evil to prevail is that good people do nothing ! Hosea 4:6<br />

Mixed emotions on this issue. You should be able to support whom you please. The problem is the obscene advantage LARGE money has - the health care lobbies who bought $2 BILLION a year for themselves through Medicaid expansion. Influence peddling destroys fairness and equal opportunity.<br />
