Montana too
Mentioned last week that ATF issued a letter that, unsurprisingly, said the TN Firearms Freedom Act was no good. They’ve issued a similar letter to Montana, the first state to pass such a law.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Please, please, please, please, please some sheriff in one of the counties in one of these two states start arresting ATF agents when they are even close to violating these state provisions.

Hell, just start arresting ATF agents for existing in either of those two states

I’ll buy the lunch for any sheriff’s dept who arrests batf agents over this issue.

To echo Fred in last week’s comments, the letter is to FFL’s — people or businesses who already have a Federal Firearms License and thus could possibly be construed to already be involved in the interstate commerce of arms. The real test for these laws would be for some machine shop or CNC shop to start making something like suppressors, 10/22 receivers, AK receivers or AR receivers… made from in-state steel (or aluminum) and marketed in-state.

The problem here is that the F-Troop boys have got all the FFL holders by the short hairs, namely their livelihood. No licence, no income. The only way to do this is for the states involved to set up an “intra-state” dealers and manufacturer’s system so that ATF can’t hurt local dealers, and back up the 10TH Amendment State’s rights bid. Any body here got the ear of a Tennesse or Montana legislator?

The entire premise that the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th Amendments, all legitimate amendments, can be rendered impotent by the ATF, whose sole power and authority come from the 16th amendment, an illegitimate amendment since it directly violates the 4th as well as the spirit of the Constitution itself, is laughable. I don’t even know what the constitution of Montana says, but the federal government has no legal authority to overrule anything a state does so long as what that state is doing doesn’t violate a legitimate provision of the federal constitution, because nearly everyone accepts that the 14th amendment makes the federal constitution, but not the federal government, supreme in authority. If the ATF wants to fight about this, they are gonna need more than letters.
