The state of Montana has signed into power a revolutionary gun law. I mean REVOLUTIONARY.
The State of Montana has defied the federal government and their gun laws. This will prompt a showdown between the federal government and the State of Montana . The federal government fears citizens owning guns. They try to curtail what types of guns they can own. The gun control laws all have one common goal - confiscation of privately owned firearms.
Montana has gone beyond drawing a line in the sand. They have challenged the Federal Government. The fed now either takes them on and risks them saying the federal agents have no right to violate their state gun laws and arrest the federal agents that try to enforce the federal firearms acts. This will be a world-class event to watch.
Montana could go to voting for secession from the union, which is really throwing the gauntlet in Obama's face. If the federal government does nothing they lose face. Gotta love it.
Important Points - If guns and ammunition are manufactured inside the State of Montana for sale and use inside that state then the federal firearms laws have no applicability since the federal government only has the power to control commerce across state lines. Montana has the law on their side. Since when did the USA start following their own laws especially the constitution of the USA , the very document that empowers the USA .
Silencers made in Montana and sol in Montana would be fully legal and not registered. As a note silencers were first used before the 007 movies as a device to enable one to hunt without disturbing neighbors and scaring game. They were also useful as devices to control noise when practicing so as to not disturb the neighbors.
Silencers work best with a bolt-action rifle. There is a long barrel and the chamber is closed tight so as to direct all the gases though the silencer at the tip of the barrel. Semi-auto pistols and revolvers do not really muffle the sound very well except on the silver screen. The revolvers bleed gas out with the sound all over the place. The semi-auto pistols bleed the gases out when the slide recoils back.
Silencers are maybe nice for snipers picking off enemy soldiers even though they reduce velocity but not very practical for hit men shooting pistols in crowded places. Silencers were useful tools for gun enthusiasts and hunters.
There would be no firearm registration, serial numbers, criminal records check, waiting periods or paperwork required. So in a short period of time there would be millions and millions of unregistered untraceable guns in Montana . Way to go Montana !
It's called the MONTANA FIREARMS FREEDOM ACT.
There are grand total of 2, just TWO articles on this in a Google News Search, one of those is a blogs, and the other is a local Montana TV story about Soviergnty bills, and not the gun bill! http://news.google.com/news/more?um=1&ned=us&cf=all&ncl=1346554341
TO THE MODERATOR: An EXTENSIVE Google search for ANYTHING resembling a mainstream article on this shows that none exist, but thier are HUNDREDS of discussions and blog articles about it! THIS SHOULD BE BREAKING NEWS.
The "Powers That Be" are determined to bury this one, and keep it quiet. And I think we ALL know why!
Texas is working on a very similar bill right now.
Watch the libs and MSM, send some idiot over state lines, into Montana to instigate some (what they consider) newsworthy disgruntle individual attack. Create a Virginia Tech or Columbine in Montana.
Might have to make Montana a future destination if Obama screws this country up more than he already has (and we all know he will).

Only one thing to say about that: Rock on Texas!
“Might have to make Montana a future destination if Obama screws this country up more than he already has (and we all know he will).”
I’d retire to Montana if it weren’t so darn cold!
Haven’t Texas and Oklahoma suceeded as well?
Like,
May the Force be with you Dude
Seriously, I applaud any attempt to get
information out to the public.
“Our” MSM sure doesn’t try so it’s kinda
up to us little guys to inform.
Hurrah for Texas.
This is why America is GREAT.
...Bravo to the governor and the state legislature...
What firearms are manufactured inside the State of Montana ?
Not to pee on your parade, but Gonzales v. Raich will likely be the precedent the government uses to kill this idea ....
And here I am stuck in Florida with a governor that makes Michelle jealous...

If this stands, it will only apply to MT manufactured firearms and for their citizens only. Of course, it may be an incentive for more firms to take up manufacturing in MT. The best hope is that other states will follow.
This sounds a little beyond the courtroom dance...
Or does he need to cast/forge/mill/whatever the frame and stamp his own name on it...
