Read literally, the Tenth Amendment seems to suggest that the federal government's powers are limited only to what it has been "delegated,"

Wow... so is the normal approach to the Constitution not to read it "literally"? CBS .... no surprise.

Well, the Tennessee Firearms Association was a driving force behind this law... We called it our 10th Amendment bill for short.

We had our monthly meeting tonight in Nashville. This was a topic of discussion... What we as states need to do is to band together - Tennessee, Montana, and all of the other states that have passed these laws, and file suit jointly against the federal government. When states file against the fed it goes straight to the US Supreme Court, skipping the district courts. With several states involved, we can get some momentum going on this issue.

Some of us also stated that if BATFE really wants to thumb their nose at our laws, we will thumb off our safeties at them. Molon Labe!!!
