Montana and other states need to follow up and do the same.

Montana is WAY ahead of us in Wyoming. And the *in-state manufactured firearms exemption* Firearms Freedom Act laws have now passed in Montana and Tennessee and been introduced in these 21 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.

Exactly. They need to pass this ASAP and then enforce it. Feds who come into Wyoming attempting to enfringe Wyoming resident and Wyoming firearms rights will go to jail.

Well, as an alternative, I'd be agreeable to seeing the applicable federal statuatory punishment imposed.

UNITED STATES CODE, TITLE 18, U.S. Criminal Code, Section 242:
Deprivation of rights under color of law

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any inhabitant of any State, Territory, 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 inhabitant being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results shall be subject to imprisonment for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death..

Just curious: are there any native Wyoming arms and/or ammo manufacturing companies?

Yes. Freedom Arms

And SI Tactical, manufacturere of AR15 and other *interesting* rifle receivers, Kalispell, Montana.

But even better, if these laws are upheld, expect many new small operations to spring up overnight. The technology is not overwhelming, and there are a lot of interesting designs to be considered and explored.
