Hmmm. This sounds interesting. With interstate commerce out of the way, does this imply that one might/could manufacture firearms within the State of Colorado for use/sale within the state itself (without the Feds breathing down your neck)? It does seem like an interesting scenario (and I have always felt the Feds have far exceeded their constitutional authority on interstate commerce since the early part of the last century). I wonder if this is an appropriate test case to challenge the Fed's power/abuse of the interstate commerce racket.

Yeah, Colorado is pretty blue right now. I doubt there’ll be much action in the near future here. Conversely, how many states actually have enterprises that manufacture firearms? My guess is, not many (but that is only a guess). Montana has a pretty nice producer of hunting firearms so that would be appropriate for their state. I'm just thinking it would not be a terribly significant legislative action for a state that has no gun manufacturing. The action could encourage upstart companies though.

You don't say. Have any examples?
