A federal judge in Missoula is dismissing a lawsuit launched by gun rights advocates and states seeking freedom from federal gun laws.

The States should just ignore the Fed, let 'em send in Holder to have a chat with the local Sheriff's where they can tell him to go pound sand.

A setback in Montana. Hope the appeal gets an honest judge.

If you think about it, it really isn’t a big deal. They don’t have the authority over us...unless we give it to them. I choose not to.

This is the same sob who put the Canadian gray wolf back on the “endangered species list” in Montana and Idaho because Wyoming did not have a wolf control plan in place. Hafta treat these critters the same across the whole “region,” donchaknow. He has no idea how endangered the wolf is.

[Still Thinking]

Gun and federalism pings!

[ForGod'sSake]

Thanks dynachrome and Still Thinking!

As near as I can tell this decision was not "unexpected" by the Montana folks given the district court(Dim judge appointed by bent willie). The all powerful interstate commerce clause misapplied -- again. An update for the 10th Amendment Division...

A Constitutionally challenged Dimocrat judge strikes again!

Please ~ping~ me to articles relating to the 10th Amendment/States Rights so I can engage the pinger.

If you want on or off the ping list just say the word.

If congress don’t have jurisdiction the Federal courts can’t be assumed to have any kind of jurisdiction.

They sure as hell don’t have the power to grant themselves or congress jurisdictions. Not only is it a conflict of interest its a usurpation of the Constitution.

Now the appeals begin

Hope we have five or six allies on the US Supreme Court when the appeal gets there.

Voting for other than Republicans has long term consequences.
