Is there anyone who knows more than I do about the FirearmsFreedomAct.com than I do. Montana passed a law claiming that anything made within the state and remained within the state was exempt from all federal taxes, registration, and regulation based on the 10th amendment. This matter went to the trial court in Montana and was dismissed on a motion by the feds. Currently the lawsuit is headed for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after that I'm sure the Supreme Court. There are a few states that have also passed similar legislation, and more that have it pending. If Montana wins I think that each state would have to pass its own laws on silencers, machine guns, short rifles etc. The feds wouldn't lose everything though, they would still have D.C.
Any thoughts?

Yeah, give me time to formulate my thoughts and I’ll respond better than I can at the moment.
