I have been told that there are some states where municipal officials who pass local firearm laws, post no gun signs, or enforce such in violation of their state's law can be personally sued in civil court. I wish we had such here. It seems only fair that "we the people" should be able to punish a misbehaving politician or official to the same extent as that which they would perform on a citizen who abides by state law.

John Basil Barnhill, a publisher, printed in a 1914 debate against socialism:

When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

He may have had a point.
