Since Sandy Hook, I have sat back as a father and been mesmerized by the inability of the federal government to do anything substantively on gun safety.

I don't bow down to the federal government.

But no one has yet succeeded in reducing the size or scope of the federal government.

It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, federal government.

Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution.

The federal government has not been effective enough monitoring and surveilling bad guys.
