1. Here's a shorter link that also works

http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20130503/OPINION/305030001/Editorial-Alabama-can-t-nullify-federal-gun-regulations

p.s. normally every thing in a very very long link after the first (?) symbol is unnecessary and can be omitted.

2. Thanks, Tx4.

You're the champ in these matters, of course!

3. Thanks for posting. Perhaps as a lark, the Executive Branch might commence nullification of the

Alabama legislature.

4. Sounds like a good idea to me.

And think of Gov. Siegelman.

5. They can declare it unconstitutional

and refuse to enforce it, what they can't do is interfere with fed. officials enforcing fed. law.
IOW, they can tell the feds that if they want the law enforced, then the fed govt. has to do it themselves and the state won't commit any resources to help them, ie: state personnel, state/local facilities, etc.

States are not obligated to enforce fed. law.

It's a stupid piece of legislation IMO, but we are talking about the AL. legislature.
