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 !
These people can get illegal guns anytime they wish, right now. They won't have to go to Montana to get them.
Sounds like you work for the Air Force.
If you really believe that, you should post a sign on your front door stating "occupant unarmed" to keep the criminals away.
I’ll help Montana fight if they want me.
We can dream but.....there are no steel mills in Montana that I know of. If a manufacturer buys steel to make weapons out of they are engaging in interstate commerce. This law will be struck down.
Is this your first gun thread? The people you listed above break every law possible except gun laws?
Thank God for Montana /sarc
and Texas!
No, standard velocity .22 is slightly supersonic, at least in a rifle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Long_Rifle#Standard_velocity.
There are ones specifically loaded to be subsonic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Long_Rifle#Subsonic.
I’m still willing to say that the action cycling will still make more noise than the round.
Wrong
Just found two without trying too hard.
B&D Fabrication Havre, MT
Black Butte Mfg, Inc Belgrade, MT
Or are you going to come back and say that the iron ore and plastics in all the weapons now need to come from Montana itself?
The interstate commerce clause essentially became meaningless after the FDR.
heh, they can get anything they want across the northern border, dont have to go interstate.... :)
you mean her mendicino beano?
Of course not, but you get the jest I’m sure...
That section was struck out. Law as-passed
Law proposed and REJECTED:
NEW SECTION. Section 7. Duties of the attorney general. (1) A Montana citizen whom the government of the United States attempts to prosecute, under the congressional power to regulate interstate commerce, for violation of a federal law concerning the manufacture, sale, transfer, or possession of a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition manufactured and retained within Montana must be defended in full by the Montana attorney general. (2) Upon written notification to the Montana attorney general by a Montana citizen of intent to manufacture a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition to which [sections 1 through 7] apply, the attorney general shall seek a declaratory judgment from the federal district court for the district of Montana that [sections 1 through 7] are consistent with the United States constitution.
isn’t that a mental toss flycoon?

Thats a bummer.
Ping to self to read later. Sounds great!!!!
I’m officially stumped - and I have nearly every Zappa album to be had - and perhaps some bootleg stuff. You talkin’ Dina Moe Hum?
Maybe I’m not stumped after all - what do I know...
