Montana would do well to push their native son Dirk Benedict (former star of Battlestar Galactica / A-Team) into politics. I've read his book
Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy and have heard his semi-regular appearances on the Rusty Humphries show, as well as his occasional columns at Breitbart's Big Hollywood. He's very much the embodiment of the classic American rugged individual and would make a great spokesman for our side...

"The Montana firearms industry isn't big."
This may change in the future with a ruling like this. Also, I would think for anyone to challenge this in court, they would have to have some sort of standing to do so.

..Alas,with the present governor and the blue state of affairs in the northern part of the state,it is not to be....

Anything that promotes a general attitude of suspicion and contempt for the leviathan federal government we now have is a good thing. Obama doesn't have what it takes for my opinion of him to improve to "suspicion and contempt".

The entire state of Montana has fewer than 1 million residents. The market is rather small. However, I have two friends who are on police forces in Montana - they will gladly arrest a federal agent!

Have you noticed the phrase at the end of the Second Amendment that says “Shall not be infringed”. The Democrats keep missing that.

The effect of that decision is that Congress may regulate a purely local activity if the cumulative effect of such activitiy is that it would have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. True, but as we all know, the ruling itself was faulty. The Supreme Court is not omnipotent! Congress (and not the SC) can REGULATE interstate commerce, but that commerce must first occur. Things in a state that have any effect on interstate commerce are none of the feds business, only the states.
Return power to the states where it belongs. The state legislature is (or should be) more responsive than some distant bureaucratic behemoth government.

There is however a clear difference between commerce and interstate commerce. The courts decision is erroneous because there is a reason that interstate commerce is labeled that. It is not the same as commerce in general, and the courts decision ignores the difference.

That's already past due. First shots have already been fired.
But, Lost is on and people just can't be bothered right now...

So will it be the job of the state to ensure none of their domestically manufactured firearms leave the state? How will they do that?
To: preacher
That was my favorite bit of case law during my MBA program.
That convoluted thinking made me glad I chose business school over law school. To this day, I cannot have a reasoned argument with the lawyers in my family or my lawyer friends. Every damned one of the suborns logic to “precedent”.
Basically, the retarded kid turns in his test first, and from that point on, 1+1=7.
Go figure.

He’s a friggin’ crybaby.
He can’t stand it that the new Battlestar Galactica outshines the old campy shit by several orders of magnitude.
He’s written several editorials about it, and he’s never come off good.

I disagree....he can't stand it that the old Battlestar has been feminized beyond recognition, and it's just a symptom of society at large. Not sure if this is one of the editorials to which you refer, but I think he's right...

You go, Montana!
Here's one resident of the despicable Gay State, Massachusetts, who'll wager that MA's national politicians will be working overtime to 'protect the children' from Montana giving the Feds the finger here while simultaneously working the same in reverse to give the nation our stinky finger of homo marriage.
Of course, the hypocrisy of it all will be lost on the great thinkers like Kennedy, Markey, Frank, and the other MA arsehole politicians that blight Washington.
To: Joe 6-pack
He’s just mad that the new Starbuck is more manly than anything he ever did. Prancing about with a Cheshire grin doesn’t cut it with a more intellectual audience. It’s about more than selling toys.
More gritty.
More violent.
Better story.
Better acting (not even close).
No friggin “Boxie” or a robotic dog.
No genius big-headed kid.
As I said, better by FAR.
And he just can’t take it.
