From this thread on "Constitutional restoration":
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2296175/posts Amen...may He help us all restore what He took a hand in creating. I pray we can do this with the ballot box in 2010 and 2012...but we better all ensure our cartridge boxes are well stocked. Should always be doing that in any case. (by Jeff Head)

“You can see 1861 all over again...”
The secessions of 1860-1861 were over states’ rights, and the next secessions will be over the same thing.
1776; 1860-61;...will 2010 herald the next revolution? (by ought-six)

The Federal government is going to cross a line and it’s not too far off. I’ve always said I don’t know what the breaking point is, but we’re getting closer. When a small group of tyrannical oligarchs directly effects the day to day activities of a large number of people, they’re asking for it. What are they going to do, declare Martial law? The military isn’t going to stand for this garbage. Nearly every person in the state of Texas has a gun. They better think real carefully about the decisions being made at the Federal level now.

“They better think real carefully about the decisions being made at the Federal level now.”
These people don’t think, they just feel, and acting on feelings is usually wrong. I agree with you, we are getting very close to the breaking point, and as the events of 20 years ago in Eastern Europe showed, when enough people take to the streets, the authorities cannot arrest or shoot everybody so the whole house of cards comes down. And it is esp. valid here in Texas where we are armed. (by 05 Mustang GT Rocks)

The second American revolution will begin in response to the left overturning the 2nd amendment—whether directly or indirectly. That is, the trampling of our right to keep and bear arms will either start the revolution or end the nation and our liberty. (by Oldpuppymax)

Will the state challenge the ATF in court?
LOL! The state challenge the Federal government in Federal Court?
They might as well roll over and put their collective butts in the air.
Challenge them with reality within the state.
If the AFT continues to be adversarial - and it will - escort them to the state line and put a boot firmly to their ass.
Then be prepared.
If they are not willing to do this, then just surrender now before they are beaten down and look like fools. - Even 1861 was backed by action - and men of action. (by bill1952)

I am ready for Tennessee to secede. If one state does it, several will follow. (by Blood of Tyrants)

From this post about the so-called 10th-Amendment movement:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2296014/postsThis movement needs to go much further to be effective. Federal agents need to be arrested for entering a county without prior approval of local law enforcement; Federal taxes should be paid to the state to be redistributed to the Federal government if determined appropriate by the state; Federal climate and energy laws must be subject to state re-determination, Federal court decisions must be sharply circumscribed by state law, etc. In short, except for originalist constitutional functions, the state must be primary or this movement may feel good but it won't have significant impact.

To date, 37 states have introduced sovereignty resolutions, asserting their state's sovereign rights under the tenth amendment.
