LaRue fiscal court looks at 'nullification' laws [View all]

This is a pretty interesting article. The republican state senate passed a law basically saying it wasn't going to follow federal laws that restrict gun rights.

So LaRue Co. Fiscal Court decided that if the state can just decide to ignore federal laws then the counties can ignore state laws. So they introduced an ordinance which mirrored the language used in the senate bill but theirs is about being able to ignore requirements regarding facility construction and enhancement that come with no state funding.

My paraphrasing isn't doing the story justice, but I think it highlights the idiocy of the nullification laws quite well.

Here's the article:
