Trump administration is getting serious blowback from MAGAs over its changing position on gun rights. They are beginning to see that he is the totalitarian power they have always worried about @ pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-...

One ICU nurse is of greater value to our society than an entire secret police force of former high school bullies wearing masks and carrying guns. ICE has made America dangerous, disrespected, and ugly. @ pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2026/01/anot...

Could make arguments either way on whether this is a direct violation of Article I, Sect. 10, Clause 3. Not that I oppose it. Time for states to start exercising authority in weird ways, regardless of whether they have such authority.
