On Thursday, March 14, the Kansas House of Representatives approved House Bill 2199, the Second Amendment Protection Act, which would nullify any new federal restrictions — passed either by Congress, presidential executive order, agency order, rule, or regulation — on firearms, magazines, and ammunition.
The bill originally passed Wednesday, March 13, by a voice vote, but the actual official recorded vote was not taken until Thursday, when it passed 94-29.
On Tuesday, during a debate over the bill on the floor, one representative who was against the bill stated that Kansas should not “punish” federal agents ordered to enforce federal gun controls in the state of Kansas. “The citizens of Kansas belong to the United States,” said the speaker.
State Representative Brett Hildabrand (R-17) took to the podium and replied:
The citizens of Kansas do not belong to the United States. The United States belongs to the citizens of Kansas! We cannot allow the response, “I was following orders” to be an excuse for violating our Constitutional rights. How many atrocities have been committed in history by people simply following orders?
For the first time in three years, members broke chamber rules and erupted into applause, according to Hildabrand’s Facebook page.

God Bless Kansas for standing up to president Jigaboo and the socialist liberal democraps..I hope SC follows suit.
finally a state that is for america…thank god
Go Kansas..joining Utah …more to follow one hopes.
Good going Kansas! The wicked witch is dead. Now if Wisconsin would only follow suit.
any attack on our constitutional rights anywhere, is a serious threat to this country. no state has a right to make there own constitution. WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THIS?
we have one constitution, no we have the presidents, state, senator, governor, mayor, police dept, thats to damn many constitutions. THATS JUST TO MUCH.
Kansas has made the move to head off major trouble within the state if in fact the Fed attempts to force registration or worse yet 'Confiscation'.
Obama is toying with a major issue with the population and trouble on this front, once started, will go out of control very quickly with drastic consequences to the Nation.
Many states will follow the lead of Kansas, hopefully. This will give the Feds and those of Feinstein's ilk a thought to consider….. Fools rush into foolish places, what do the words 'SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED' mean to these fools? Are they really stupid?
