In 2009 Montana and Tennessee passed state laws for the 2nd amendment nullifying Federal efforts.
Now, Wyoming is on the verge of passing one with some teeth, and 21 other states are considering it.
Come on Idaho and Texas and all you others. Time to step up to the plate and restore the Constitution!

Wyoming State Representative Allen Jaggi has introduced a “Firearms Freedom Act” (FFA) for the state – it’s filed as House Bill 95 (HB95).
While the FFA’s title focuses on gun regulations, it has far more to do with the federal violations of the commerce clause.
If passed, the bill would provide “that specified firearms that are manufactured, sold, purchased, possessed and used exclusively within Wyoming shall be exempt from federal regulation, including registration requirements”
HB95 includes wording, that if passed, would impose penalties for violations of the law:
"Any official, agent or employee of the United States government who enforces or attempts to enforce any act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States government upon a personal firearm, a firearm accessory or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Wyoming and that remains exclusively within the borders of Wyoming shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, shall be subject to imprisonment for not more than two (2) years, a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), or both."
The US government pays for the legal defense of its employees who are charged with something they were doing as part of their jobs.
You don't really think the Commerce Clause is the only idea these people have come up with?
There are plenty more. Then there are the idiots who MAIL MJ.
Bwahahahahahahahah!!!
There'd be no end to this Fur Shur.
But I think we've gone quite a ways in resolving the issues presented by the Independencias.
Oh, I’m sure it won’t go down easily in DC.
But there are scenarios where DC’s power to control the unruly provinces could be severely curtailed.
Glad to see you posting Jeff!!
The idea is to harass the Feds, and consume time and resources that would otherwise be used to oppress the people. Prevailing in court in court would take a back seat to engaging in irritating Alinskyite lawfare.
Bwahahahaha ~ there are an infinite number of federales ~ and some actually enjoy the game.
Screwing up Yellowstone is not the way to endear yourself to them!
No, I did not miss that your ancestor was the Sheriff. I happened to be talking to someone else about something else.
I’m moving to Wyoming
>> I don’t think Napolitano is half the man Reno was. <<
Reno was a diesel dyke, Napolitano is a soft butch excuse
It’s already FEDERAL LAW...

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 241 and 242
242. Deprivation of rights under color of law
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
This could and SHOULD be used to prosecute ANY political organization, senator, congressman, etc., at ANY level who
attempts to ram through and pass ANY bill denying me my Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
and also:
§ 241. Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
IMO, Subsection 241 could (and SHOULD) be used against the DNC and any liberal organization that attempts to hinder, regulate, impede, prohibit, or otherwise INTERFERE with my Consitutional right to carry, own, possess, use etc., a Firearm in the legal and lawful defense of my life, liberty and property.
But then again, I’m no lawyer...just a Citizen, after all...
LFOD
Excellent, so you're already above lawyer on the food chain.
My friend...PLANKTON are above Lawyer on the Food Chain...!!!
I heard that medical researchers stopped using rats as test subjects and went to attorneys instead. They found there were things they couldn’t get the rats to do, plus sometimes they got attached to the rats.
From your lips to God’s ear...
This passed through committee basically intact. The biggest change is that it is now a misdemeaner instead of a felony for a federal official to attempt to enforce laws contrary to this, and the committee also established restrictions, such as age an mental competency, on the purchase of Wyoming made firearms.
The concealed carry without a permit law also passed committee, once again with out major changes.
This thread has a report from a local paper: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2453393/posts
This committee was the biggest hurdle in the House; Chairman Gingery is a bit of a RINO from the liberal side of the state (Jackson). However since it cleared, it should be smooth sailing in the House. I am not sure what reception either of these bills will get in the Senate; they don’t like to rock the boat.
“How will Bummer react to this? Waco II?”
nah. Clinton really thought he was in charge. We’ve pretty much set bummer straight on that already.
2nd amendment legal ping, our state is one of the ones considering it.
Thanks for this vital info. God be with you for a full recovery to good health!
