Print article JUNEAU A state senator, opposed to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention order on aircraft and public transportation, has asked the Alaska Legislature to consider ignoring certain federal laws, regulations and executive orders. The idea is one of many similar ideas advancing in Republican-controlled statehouses across the country despite opponents who say the concept blatantly violates the U.S. Constitution. If approved by the Senate, House and Gov. Mike Dunleavy, Senate Bill 118 would create a legislative “Committee on Nullification of Federal Laws.” If the committee recommends that a federal rule be ignored and both the House and Senate agree, “the state and the citizens of the state may not recognize or be obligated to abide by the federal law or executive order.”

Every police officer in Texas supports the right of our citizens to arm themselves for sport, hunting and protection, Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata said. But as with any Constitutional right there comes great responsibility. For the safety of Texas residents, we want to make sure everyone who carries a firearm is well trained, follow basic gun safety measures and understand the importance of responsible gun usage.
