“And too, note in my post 73 that SCOTUS ordered the 9th Circuit to use the logic of Raich (fed law trumps state law) to uphold a Stewart’s conviction for making and possessing a homemade machine gun. From top to bottom, the feds are corrupt on 2nd amendment matters - all three branches, not one honest person in the entire lot, as far as I can tell. “
Federal law can only trump State law where Federal law is constitutional permitted.
And your rights one of the main reason none of the bill of rights really applied to the States was to keep the Federal government from abusing it to usurp the rights of the States.
One way or the other Montana need to ignore the Federal court ruling against its peoples gun rights just as California did.
If the court doesn’t want to act like a court they should not be treated like one. This is not anarchy, this is law and order as determined and enforced by the elected government and authority of the people.
The Federal court has no authority to rule itself or its appointers new unconstitutional powers. We cannot as freedom loving men and women in good judgment respect the acts of a such a tyrant.
California showed us the way, let us follow.
The only reason CA gets away with flouting federal pot laws, is a policy decision by the feds to not enforce the federal pot laws. "On the law books," federal law trumps the state.
The policy decision regarding enforcement of gun laws is to enforce them with vigor. Stewart was convicted, his conviction was upheld, and he may be in jail today, for all I know.

I agree that it lacks the rational logic and moral authority. But the feds are asserting rule of law by subterfuge and the power of brute force. Overwhelming brute force works as an authority too. The US is just a glorified banana republic.
