Where it will, once again, be struck down. If it even makes it there. Their heart is in the right place but this isn’t going to work.

SAF involved in the Firearms Freedom Act lawsuit.

Suit underway regarding their firearms freedom act, which snubs the federal government.

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.

Montana recently passed a law stating that guns made in and kept in the state are not subject to federal gun laws. This was done to create legal challenges. The AP has a look: Still, much bigger prey lies in Montana’s sights: a legal showdown over how far the federal government’s regulatory authority extends. […] […]

A bill in Texas would exempt weapons made there from federal gun laws: A bill by state Rep. Leo Berman exempting Texas-made firearms, gun accessories and ammunition sold within the state from federal regulation and law — including registration — was heard in a House committee on Monday.

Now, Alaska: The state House has approved a bill exempting guns and ammunition manufactured and kept within Alaska from federal firearms regulation, a measure critics immediately said was unconstitutional. The House Thursday voted 32-7 in favor of the Alaska Firearms Freedom Act sponsored by Fairbanks Republican Mike Kelly and 10 co-sponsors.

Looks like the bill exempting Montana from federal gun controls is heading to the governor: Montana-made guns may form the basis for a court showdown over states’ rights if the governor signs a bill to release some firearms in the state from federal regulation. The proposed law aims to exempt firearms, weapons components and ammunition […]

Billings Gazette looks at Montana’s new gun bill that will say the feds can’t regulate guns in their state: “The primary purpose is to set up a legal challenge but also to say we have a lot of really good people in Montana who do the right thing,” said Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting […]

The house passes a bill snubbing federal gun controls: Montana lawmakers fired another shot in battles for states’ rights as they supported letting some Montana gun owners and dealers skip reporting their transactions to the federal government. Under House Bill 246, firearms made in Montana and used in Montana would be exempt from federal regulation. […]

The law they’ve tried to pass before snubbing the federal .gov on gun laws is back. Joe has the details.

Over at Free Constitution, they’re saying Montana has threatened secession.

Montana has a history of telling the feds to bugger off. Their legislature condemned the Patriot Act; they asked politicos for federal office why they think they’re exempt from campaign finance laws; and introduced a bill a while back telling the feds to get out of their gun permit and drivers’ license process. And they […]

Lately, Montana has a tendency to poke the feds with a stick. Their legislature condemned the Patriot Act; they asked politicos for federal office why they think they’re exempt from campaign finance laws; and introduced a bill a while back telling the feds to get out of their gun permit and drivers’ license process. Well, […]

Montana keeps poking the feds with a pointy stick. This time, their legislature passed a resolution condemning the Patriot act.

Montana, which has been awful snippy with the Federal government lately, continues to poke the Feds with a pointy stick. Gunner notes that Montana politicos have asked the feds why they think they’re exempt from campaign finance laws.

Daines […]

SCOTUS has turned down a silencer case: The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to federal regulation of gun silencers Monday, just days after a gunman used one in a shooting rampage that killed 12 people in Virginia. The justices did not comment in turning away appeals from two Kansas men who were convicted of violating […]

I’m remiss mentioning that Missoula, Montana recently passed a law requiring background checks for all transfers. The police there said they’re only going to enforce it if someone complains. What if they leave town?

Man Being Prosecuted for ‘Hate Speech’ and Holocaust Denial.

Cigar-Smoking, Gun-Toting Mary Fields Carried Montana’s Mail. Bad ass.

Well, tries to. They fail miserably on most points. “journalism”

Snoop Whatever says we should ban guns. And he would know since he has the arrest to prove it.

Their heart was in the right place but the court struck down Montana’s firearms freedom act.

ATF says that medical marijuana users cannot own guns. The logic is sketchy since form 4473 asks if one is an unlawful user. I would say being permitted by the state makes one’s use lawful. ATF disagrees: The federal government considers all users of medical marijuana unlawful, no matter what state law says. Generally, the […]

A gun activist in Montana is looking to test it: With a homemade .22-caliber rifle he calls the Montana Buckaroo, Gary Marbut dreams of taking down the federal regulatory state. He’s not planning to fire his gun. Instead, he wants to sell it, free from federal laws requiring him to record transactions, pay license fees […]
