Wyoming lawmakers propose bill to nullify new federal gun laws
January 10, 2013 | 11:03 am 202Comments Charlie Spiering Commentary Staff Writer The Washington Examiner
Wyoming lawmakers have proposed a new bill that, if passed, would nullify any federal restrictions on guns, threatening to jail federal agents attempting to confiscate guns, ammunition magazines or ammunition.
The bill – HB0104 – states that “any federal law which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on firearms in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming.”
The bill is sponsored by eight Wyoming state representatives ad two state senators. If passed, the bill would declare any federal gun regulation created on or after January 1, 2013 to be unenforceable within the state.
In addition, the bill states would charge federal officials attempting to enforce a federal gun law within the state with a felony – “subject to imprisonment for not more less than one (1) year and one (1) day or more than five (5) years, a fine of not more than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), or both.”
The bill also allows the Attorney General of Wyoming to defend a state citizen from any prosecution by the United States Government.

Spent four years living in Casper. God’s country. And gun country! With a proposed new Federal law to ban certain types of weapons, I joined and bought a few - ‘Course if they come looking for them they’ll realize I lost them somewhere along the way.
Town of 50,000 then. Everyone had guns, lots of them. Yet there was only one murder in the four years I was there - a non-local, illegal I think, broke into the home of an 86 year old woman, raped her and killed her with a knife.
Multiply the population by the number of guns and their frequent presence and use, and multiply that by that four year murder statistic, and I think it presents a great argument against gun control.
Thanks for doing the research. It’s clearly a false quote, and you saved me some time...
Hear, hear.
God I love Wyoming. We used to go there every summer for 10 years straight for vacation when I lived behind enemy lines in WA state. It was go good to go be with real people.
AR-15 Armed American: 15-year-old uses dad’s AR to defend self, 12YO sister
January 11, 2013
In Texas, a 15-year-old uses his dad’s AR-15 to defend himself, his 12-year-old sister and the family home against a pair of home invaders.
The AR-15 is America’s favorite rifle.

There is one simple way which AZ could defy the FedGov -- declare a state of invasion and militarily (i.e. shoot to kill) shut down border crossings. Further, demand the FedGov assist (Art 4, Sec 4, US Constitution).
That is most excellent info in a state where (Dem governor, two Dem senators) good news has been in short supply.
Thanks for the legwork and the good word.
(do you have a connection to Montana?)
Then O declares martial law in AZ, sends in the National guard from other states I assume and takes over?
A good law aimed at protecting the lives of federal agents.
That's one reaction -- and it would mean that he would be blatantly ignoring US Constitution, Art 4, Sec 4 -- but how many States would join w/ AZ? And, indeed, is not the waging of war on the States the very definition of Treason laid out by the Constitution?
The States, in that case, could indict Obama (and supporters) w/ Treason -- and, furthermore, it would mean the Fed were the undeniable aggressor in the Second American Civil War: The War of Federal Aggression.
“...This is flat out stupid.”
I disagree. Nullification of most things federal these days is the only chance that I see we even have of getting our country to resemble the Constitution again. We need more red state governments to take this course. State Rights need to be reestablished with a vengence. The feds are way out of bounds and over the lines, and our national voting channels have become hostage to manipulation and thus nullified. If we think we can vote our way back on a national scale we are seriously kidding ourselves. I’m very curious to see how Gov. Mead reacts to this.
Now our state DEQ on the other hand... I think we import those fruitcakes right off the bus from Biodiversity and Berkley!
maybe these wyoming pols can visit denver and show my legislators what a true patriotic states’ rights American politician looks like. all the idiots that moved here from mexifornia to escape the mess they made just made a new mess here.
He’s not a dumb Republican silly. He doesnt broadcast his real plans so boldly unless public approval is with those plans, unlike many Republicans who go to kick Lucy's football over and over.
In those cases he says one thing and does another. He lies and says he is the only honest one at the table,.
Your scenareo had AZ declaring the state invaded and demanding further assistance. His assistance would be declaring martial law and putting its citizens under Federal protective custody.
By the time other states realized what happened it will be over, much like Republicans ‘after the fact’ reactions to O.
