Montana and other states need to follow up and do the same.
>>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.
Doubtful. This issue has already been decided by SCOTUS in ‘In re Neagle’.
Montana is already on the books with this. The Montana Shooting Sports Association’s Gary Marbut got a Bill through the legislature during the last session.
Test cases will follow. The feds have finally pushed the people too far. We owe that Muslim Marxist in the White House a dept of gratitude.
Glad to see you posting Jeff!!
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.
Well, as an alternative, I'd be agreeable to seeing the applicable federal statuatory punishment imposed.
