My dictionary defines sovereign in this context as self governing.
We are not self governing in reality. We elect (hire) people to govern for us. Unfortunately, the hired help have come to believe they are our rulers.
Jonathan Dayton ~ represented New Jersey at the Constitutional Convention. He believed that government should defend individual freedoms, but within the framework of an established social hierarchy. Dayton's father, Elias, was a militia officer in the French and Indian War who returned home to prosper as a merchant and colonial official. Dayton was clearly influenced by his family's position in the community and his father's ideas about government. Both men, like most Americans of their day, believed that the average citizen should defer to the views of his "betters". www.history.army.mil...

That all makes sense, but I don't understand why anyone would need a fully automatic machine gun? That's the only part I don't get. There are a lot of very dumb and very crazy people in the states and they shouldn't have access to fully automatic weapons.

An obscure little law passed quietly in the 1940's known as the Buck Act is the one major piece in the puzzle of understanding how the Federal Government has seemingly usurped most of the State's jurisdiction.
The “BUCK ACT,” created one huge federal state by the authority of Article I, Section 8, clause 17, incorporating the states as “federal areas” and renaming them, for example: New Mexico identifies the sovereign state and the STATE OF NEVADA, identifies the “federal area.” Title 4, chapter 4 of the United States Code, defines a “Federal Area” as:
Title 4, United States Code, §110(e):
The term "Federal area" means any lands or premises held or acquired by or for the use of the United States or any department, establishment, or agency, of the United States; and any Federal area, or any part thereof, which is located within the exterior boundaries of any State, shall be deemed to be a Federal area located within such State.
A "Federal area" is any area designated by any agency, department, or establishment of the federal government. This includes the Social Security areas designated by the Social Security Administration, any public housing area that has federal funding, a home that has a federal bank loan, a road that has federal funding, and almost everything that the federal government touches though any type of aid. Springfield v. Kenny, (1951 App.) 104 NE2d. 65.

It is my custom to enter threads on this topic and post a reminder... The FBI classifies "sovereign citizens" as domestic terrorists.
My research has yet to show me a single American citizen who has accomplished much of anything positive by following these ideas. Many swear they've been let out of traffic stops or even beaten a ticket using these tactics. But, beyond that....
Quite a high risk to take to avoid a speeding fine IMO.
