"How do you ask a federal judge or a juror to not enforce the laws?" he said, adding that having a sheriff's deputy trying to arrest an FBI agent would create problems. [More] 
Do you think there will be fewer problems if someone else handles it?

Boy, these guys sure sing a different tune when they want something.

I read the first article and I could have sworn that the constitution is the supreme law of the land, not federal law. Federal law is derived from the constitution much like state law. But what do I know, I'm just one of the little people.

The supremacy clause actually reads:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof…shall be the supreme law of the land.

It would therefore seem that so-called "gun-control laws," not being made in pursuance of the Constitution, but in violation of it, are not only NOT the "supreme law of the land" but not any law at all.
