Which Kenyan are you referring to and what does a Kenyan have to do with politics in Missouri?

A Kenyan

Kenya is having a war on guns? You would think it would have made the news.

The state of Missouri is not required to enforce Federal laws, unless, of course, they still want to get all that Federal money most law enforcement agencies rely on to function. As far as arresting Federal agents in the performance of their Federally authorized duties, that hasn't happened since the Federal courts ordered the desegregation of schools. I would expect the first time that happens, the President would authorize the commander of the 101st or the 82nd to put the state under martial law.

Grandstanding. Just as the 33 separate pieces of legislation the House Republicans passed to repeal Obamacare. Or the referendum FL Republicans put on the ballot last year that would have prevented enforcement of the federal healthcare mandate. It's all useless grandstanding. Don't they have real issues to deal with in the state of Missouri? I hear they have a real bad gun violence problem in both their major cities. Why don't these no goods try and do something about tat?

If it starts with "the Kenyan", just ignore it. It's a good rule to have around here. What follows "the Kenyan" is never anything intelligent or worth reading.

Only applies to the enforcement of state laws. There is a long history of Federalizing state troops and using the Army to enforce Federal laws.

Unfortunately doesn't exist anymore.

We are literally a finger snap away from someone being able to order troops to attack US Citizens.

There's a reason why the government wants more gun control, and there's a reason why the leftists want it too. None of it having to do with protecting individuals.

And you always call us sheep. Why is it right now, after so many years of Democracy that this particular president is called a tyrant or king? If the government wants to take over, what's stopping them? Do you really think the American people have enough firepower to withstand everything they have? Drone strikes, tanks, fighter jets, hate to break it to you, you're terribly outgunned. The revolution was against Britain, not the US. That is the reason why it won't happen.

In fact, we are not.

For the fearmongers, we are figuratively a finger snap away from [enter favorite catastrophe], but that is a perennial state of mind they choose to entertain.

You could however say, we are literally a trigger-pull away from witnessing another shooting massacre in our future.
