You have to speak in a language that they can understand: any republican Georgia House Rep. or State Senator who pushes for this and pushes to eliminate mail in voting and Dominion voting machines will have excellent job security. Those who don't well . . . probably will not make it beyond the next primary.
The state legislature may pass a law that prohibits state and local officials from enforcing a federal law, but it is powerless to stop federal officials from enforcing federal law.

Most states have their own laws that are similar to Federal law. For example, possession of a suppressor, sawed off shotgun or short barreled rifle is illegal under both federal and state law in Georgia. In most cases, the person will be prosecuted under state law unless the feds choose to take the case. It is not easy to get the feds to take the smaller cases and they usually defer to the state prosecution. States that have legalized marijuana and refuse to prosecute their citizens for it are good examples. However, the feds can come in and make a federal case in any of those states that have legalized marijuana, but choose not to do so except in bigger cases. It would also be difficult to obtain a federal conviction because the jurors are selected from the same state where the state government has made marijuana legal. There are so many people smoking marijuana in those states that there is no way the federal court system could possibly handle all those cases. Most state and local law enforcement officers do not enforce federal law now or have any authority to do so unless they are attached to federally funded / ran task force and they are also sworn by a federal agency. Another example is immigration. Local law enforcement arrests illegal aliens all the time for miscellaneous offenses, but have no authority to arrest and hold the person for an immigration violation unless they are attached to some type of federal task force or 287g program. Many of these people initially have a hold placed on them by ICE at the local jail, but often are released when the feds do not come pick them up. The feds currently practice selective enforcement on almost everything because they just don't have the resources. But, it seems lately that the federal law enforcement agencies have become weaponized for political purposes.
Go to their house and talk to them. They dont give a **** about us
The ATF does actively work field cases, and you have the FBI and DEA who would likely be making such charges in conjunction with their normal cases. For example, suppose the DEA takes down a drug trafficker who is in possession of an illegal suppressor or other NFA item, the DEA would make such charges. I would think Customs would also be an agency that would routinely run across such items. HSI could conceivably come across such items in human trafficking cases, and I suppose U.S. Fish & Wildlife probably even comes across them from time to time.
Such a law would prohibit your local sheriff's office from being able to take gang related felon in possession of a firearm cases to federal court.
As for immigration, the Trump administration began a new program called Immigration Warrant Service Officers. These are local personnel who are issued federal credentials to execute federal immigration warrants. They can't initiate immigration cases, but the program satisfies the requirement to have a federal official execute the warrant.
