New state gun laws

Several states have follwed Montana and passed gun laws exempting guns made, sold, and used inside said state from ATF laws and regulations.

What exactly does that mean for those of us living in one of those states?

If there were no state gun laws prohibiting short barreled rifles, silencers, or machine guns, could we make our own?

    Well Wyomings state goverment stepped it up a notch by getting a law signed that makes Federal gun related arrests punishable by up to two years in prison for all agents involved.

    It will be interesting to see how that works out, if tested.

    It is a law that asserts our sovereignty to the federal government. It basically states there is a difference between intrastate and interstate commerce. Not a free for all on producing weapons with no restrictions. There are many made in Montana rifles with no serial numbers on them here. If you want one, you need to move here and get yourself one. It's a private contract within the boarders of a sovereign state.

    The best thing about it is that if you have one of the receivers that have made in Montana or MT on them, the feds will not be able to confiscate them even if they have a normal federally registered serial number on them. Our national guard would have to enforce that along with local police and the militia. Some value added for buying local!

    If you would like to know more about our laws and our organization that blazed the trail for all other states to follow click here http://www.mtssa.org/

    Exactly. When the BATFE, FBI or a US Marshal shows up, lets see who is in charge....Local Police or Feds.

    If you look at the mid 1850s its the same place our country is now. The issues were different but the ideas were the same.

    Which is why this is going to be an interesting case to observe... at a distance.

    It's not going to be nearly as entertaining for the poor sap who decides to violate federal law.

    It either is or it isn't.

    When was the last time a state law set a precedence over a federal law?

    You guys need to step up and pay attention.





    ...the RIGHT of the people to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

    Over 20,000 'gun' laws on the books today. Exactly where/when did government decide they had the authority to trample the rights of the people when the CONSTITUTION forbids it?

    Step up and pay attention.

    I am a citizen.

    I am perfectly capable of determining what is in my best interests. I neither need nor want any individual, organization or entity to step-in and decide for me, and said folks should be cautious about poking their snouts into the tents of others, lest they get firmly smacked on those snouts.

    Just sayin.[:D]

    We have commissioned numerous studies and have conducted countless inquiries in regards to whether or not, the average American citizen is capable of making their own responsible decisions and choices.

    The results were very disappointing. [V]

    Had those same studies been conducted before government entitlement programs and meddling in individual affairs the results would have been far different.

    Dano, Actually the US 'Supreme' Court has ruled that The County Sheriff is the HIGHEST position of Law in his part of the State. Even going so far as to say that the County Sheriff trumps the Feds in his county. Thing is that the County Sheriff has to have the Stones to make the Feds defer to him. THAT is the hardest part of the ruling. Too many sheriffs bending over for anyone with a Fed Badge.....

    Not according to the law, but if it comes down to who has the most and biggest guns you could be right. The feds proved it in 1861 and that worked out really well. I used to think the country would recover from that one in another hundred years, but now I'm not so sure.
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    Only by tyrannical use of power. Any federal law that gives the federal government powers beyond the limits described in the constitution are not legally or morally valid. The federal government and it's agents can only enforce them through tyrannical use of power. Which they currently do.

    I hope the American people find the courage to change this.
