Gov. Brian Schweitzer has signed into law a bill that aims to exempt Montana-made guns from federal regulation, adding firepower to a battery of legislative efforts to assert states’ rights across the nation.

“It’s a gun bill, but it’s another way of demonstrating the sovereignty of the state of Montana,” Democrat Schweitzer said.

Excellent news!

Obama is a wimp!

First Kim, then Sarkozy, then the pirates, and now the governors!

[ForeignDude]

No kidding...

The only people Obama seems to be able to roll are guilt-ridden middle-class white Americans.

Everyone else is cleaning his clock.

Ole Zero is having a bad week! First Texas is talking about leaving and now the Dem’s from Montana are telling him to get lost...Good times

[snowsislander]

Excellent news!

So where can I get a Montana built semi automatic?

[montomike]

You’ll probably get your choice of a lot of them...pretty quick.

[Domandred]

I’m curious if this law passes would that mean a fully automatic rifle manufactured in Montana and stays in Montana would be exempt from Federal laws as far as Montana is concerned?...

I am so proud that so many are coming out against this administrations fascism and socialistic takeovers of our people. We need our state governments to put the brakes on and put them on hard!

[turducken]

If we are really going to stand up to the fascists in D.C. then we need Republicans, Independents, and conservative Democrats to join the fray.

Good on you Governor!

This should offer another challenge to Wickard v Filburn.

It'll be interesting to see if the same people that cheered when the Bush administration lawyers argued to uphold it in the Raisch case still feel that way when Obama's Justice Department does the same.

at this point i would think most people are just trying to keep their jobs

but i dont know

[Pistolshot]

The governor was in a tough spot.

Sign it and get re-elected.

Veto it and get skewered.

[Wisconsinlady]

I’d glady drive to Montana to pick one up.

[grobdriver]

Move to Montana.

Part of the deal is the weapons don’t leave the state, else they become subject to federal laws.

Some thoughtful legislation such as this might have saved those burnt to death at Waco.

It is amazing to me that when it comes down to something like guns, some dems actually do see the constitutional light. But then, most of these dems are in very RED states.

FU feds!!

[manc]

for crying out loud what the hell is my state doing on this state sovereignty

crist you better get it sorted or GA or TX here I come

does anyone know where FL stands on this issue right now, i thought it was working it was though but I heard yesterday off someone that he got killed

"Since the law applies only to those guns that are made and kept in Montana, its impact is limited. The state is home to just a handful of specialty gun makers, known for recreating rifles used to settle the West, and most of their customers are out-of-state."
