Might have to make Montana a future destination...I'm sure Ted Turner, Tom Brokaw, and David Letterman would be happy to return their mega-ranches to their "rightful owners,"

Because my googling found no traditional new reports on this, I wondered if it was an Internet myth. I went to the Montana Legislature site, an found the bill (HB 246), and verified that it’s current status is “became law.” Click the status link at bottom left of this page:

since the federal government only has the power to control commerce across state lines.
But the drug warriors told me that Wickard v Filburn changed all of that and the government can regulate anything it wants.

You are simply not seeing the Montana law for what it truly means. No. Im just not gett all excited about it until I see that there is more to it than just "words". Are the majority of the people of Montana, or any other state for that matter, REALLY that fed up that they are willing to resort to armed rebellion?
I just don't have that much faith to believe it is so.

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 pretty much stop the feds if Montana is serious in enforcing their new gun laws.

Gun manufacturers will be moving into Montana, sell their wares to Montanans and send the rest out of state for sale. Great idea.

Okay, you’ve officially confused me. What’s up with the dental floss thing?
Thanks in advance.

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 MontanaYes indeed. In the hands of terrorists, crackpots, murders, drug dealers and other scum.
Thank God for Montana /sarc

My only concern is how to get to Montana from North Commilina once martial law is declared.

Yeah, a serial number would make them flee like roaches under a kitchen light!

Stewart prevailed in the 9th Circuit - just one step below SCOTUS - going so far as to affirm that a convicted felon could make and own home-made machineguns, based solidly on the 2nd Amendment.
No,
the original 9th Circuit opinion explicitly said that Stewart's 2nd amendment claim was rejected based on the then-current 9th Circuit "collective rights" interpretation of that amendment. He won because the 9th Circuit said that a homegrown machine gun for personal use is outside of the commerce clause authority. Also, the 9th Circuit AFFIRMED his conviction for felon in possession. Here is the last paragraph from that opinion:
[9] Finally, Stewart argues that the Second Amendment guarantees him the right to possess machineguns, as well as the right to possess firearms generally despite his former fel- ony convictionas charged in count one of Stewarts indict- ment. We have held that the Second Amendment was not adopted in order to afford rights to individuals with respect to private gun ownership or possession. Silveira v. Lockyer, 312 F.3d 1052, 1087 (9th Cir. 2002). Thus, there is no Second Amendment limitation on legislation regulating or prohibit- ing the possession or use of firearms. Id. Stewarts Second Amendment argument must therefore fail. We reverse Stew- arts conviction for machinegun possession under section 922(o) as an unlawful extension of Congresss commerce power and affirm his conviction for possession of firearms by a felon. AFFIRMED in part and REVERSED in part.
I agree that the legal interpretation of the commerce clause should be revisited, and that giving up is for losers, but think that people should understand that if they attempt to cross the feds on this one, they might just lose in court like Stewart and Raich before them.

I seemed to have missed the part where the Montana Governor (D) ‘dared Obama to challenge it’. Where is that part at?
To: tcrlaf
I have always thought of moving to a ranch out in Montana somewhere...Sounds better and better by the day.

Just remove Exception 4, which not only bans machine guns, but also shotguns! And besides, I like machine guns!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s about darn time the states started exercising their rights. Lots of land in Montana. If enough people move there they will be a force to be reckoned with when elections roll around every 4 years.
