It appears the last school shooting in Wyoming was with a bow and arrow.

And this one many years ago...

What a fantastic people & state that is Wyoming!

I find myself in awe over their true patriot spirit, even thou I don’t expect this bill to pass. Its mere considerations is a extremely encouraging symbol of a people growing in their will to resist tyranny. Proof that our land is not yet entirely devoid of true patriots.

Let us work to see that theses brave men & women of Wyoming may grow in number and spread in sentiment & cause to other states. While the flame of liberty can never be fully extinguished by tyranny, its brightness is a symbole of hope to men & women yearning to breath free both near and far.

Let that flame glow more brightly in Wyoming, not just as demonstrated by the acts of her leglsator but most of all in the hearts & sentiments of her people. Let us never again yield before the foot of tyranny.

Warn Washington to treed lightly and never again upon me!

This is the cry of a true patriot, a man who’s loyalty & devotion is and always has been to the cause of liberty not any particular government.

This is exactly what I have been waiting for. Come on Texas and other states! Make it clear to the Fed that you will not submit to any violation of the 2A/Constitution.

I like this part as well:
“It also includes a provision allowing the Wyoming Attorney General’s office to defend any state resident against any federal firearm ban.”

This is great to hear! And exactly what states need to be doing in the face of federal overreach- each & every time. I was very impressed when David Vitter wasted no time after firearms were seized in the aftermath of Katrina.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Let’s hope people do all they can to make this one of them!

Wonderful news. The key to breaking the power of the Federal leviathan lies with the States.

The day will come when the Federal government will become insolvent or truly tyrannical.

Hopefully, at that time there will be Warrior leaders at the State level that will lead the effort of the several States to remove from the Federal government all unconstitutional powers. i.e. reduce the Fed power by 90% :)

If that doesn't happen then we will descend into a Socialist H*ll or a civil war.

And that bow shooter was full-on crazy train. Aspberger’s Syndrome. Hated his father for fathering him. Said in his suicide note that his father should not be allowed to reproduce - ever.

This is an introduction of a bill. It means nothing.

When it is signed into law and passes 10 court challenges 10 years from now, then I’ll celebrate.

Sounds good.

I love Wyoming !!!

We moved here about a year ago and I cannot say enough good things about this state.

Ok -- the winds blow (a lot), but you can just feel freedom in those winds!!

Why? Did any LEO serve jail time for civil rights infractions?

Not that I know of (I’m not in La.), but it definitely clarified that they would be breaking federal law if they pulled it again. Was this necessary? Shouldn’t have been? WILL it stop it from happening again? Maybe not- probably not, but he *did* represent his constituents in good faith instead of pretending not to notice, making some excuse, or changing the subject- which is a helluva lot more than we can say for most of the stuffed shirts in DC. And considering all the worthless legislation they regurgitate every day (when they’re working, that is), it was *doing* something.

typo. There shouldn’t have been a -?- after “shouldn’t have been”. It should have been a period- literally & figuratively.
