Montana Governor Signs New Gun Law-(DARES Obama To Challenge it!)
Gather ^ | 5-5-09 | George W.

Posted on 05/06/2009 7:24:33 AM PDT by tcrlaf

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 !

Ahh...

You’re just a wannabee with no real weapons or combat training or experiences!

I’d call a 45 with a can more like an air nailer. Bordering on uncomfortable to make yo reach for hearing protectors if you’re a hearing-protective wimp like me!

One of my more fun range experiences had to do with sight, not sound. Downloaded 44 magnums that could be SEEN arcing toward the target in daylight, like dark tracers.

“You’re just a wannabee with no real weapons or combat training or experiences!” Posting that to Matt gives new meaning to ‘irony’ ...

Hopefully the sarcasm was evident to others in addition to Travis, who I know personally and certainly respect.

To those who know whom Matt Bracken is, the sarcasm is evident immediately. But to those who do not, you might want to post links to his books. ;^)

Yep.......dead on !

The least noise I have ever got from a suppressed weapon is a ruger 77/22 with a integral can on it , full length barrel........shooting a 22 short popping street lights. The lights popping made the use of a can moot. My use of such tools was always to disable sensors for advanced access and disablement of improvised gadgets.

1140 fps or less at an ambient temp of 60 degrees and 30% humidity is test bed standard for us.

And subsonic bolt guns are an unusual rarity

Any rifle can fire subsonic ammunition, provided that you can buy it. Catalogs have plenty of such .22 ammo, for example.

The bullet makes one hell of a snap itself.

Only if you miss the squirrel (or whatever you are hunting.)

Nope, can’t find it mentioned anywhere in the MSM. I tried a Google search on the terms MONTANA FIREARMS FREEDOM ACT, each search with one of a myriad of TV public and cable news as well as newspapers. Not even Fox News has any mention of it. They can’t hide it forever.

Hmmm, a gun manufacturer might be intersted in opening multiple plants, like, 50 of them

Thanks for posting this... very interesting.

I hope that Montana has its day in court and wins!

BTW, My favorite comedy show sings a Montana song.

I wish I could find the music for it, but here are the props and the words...



more about the show

What firearms are manufactured inside the State of Montana ?

I believe Cooper Firearms are. Someone did tell me that they endorsed Obama for president, but I never checked into it.

If this happens, I think many companies would re-locate or start a new division.

THe author of this article seems to be indulging in a bit of fanboyism, doesnt he? Phrases like “Gotta love it” etc dont really make for a mature report.

Sure, its good news, but lets have a little decorum..

I dont like his tone, and distrust his motives in writing this piece...

Used to work with a guy from Ireland.

He wanted a nice 22-250, and we found him a nice Ruger to ship back to the Emerald Isle.

He kept asking about where to buy a suppressor. Across the pond, most varmint hunters use them so as to cut down on the noise.
