HELENA – 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 made in Montana and kept in Montana from federal gun laws.

Excellent idea, IMHO. The more I hear about the State of Montana the more I like it, really... Good for them!

A two bang-er, if you will... A boost for the 2nd and the 10th Amendments.
Good on ‘em.
The court challenges should be most interesting, indeed.

Sounds like a good idea. I think. I hope it doesn’t backfire somehow.

Gee, I didn't think there was a federal gun registration and licensing requirement? There will be just as soon as Obama/Pelosi figure a way to keep 4473 records indefinately.

Gee, I didn't think there was a federal gun registration and licensing requirement? Try buying a Class III weapon without a Federal License and Tax Stamp sometime and see what happens.

I wish them the very best. This will be a bitter fight with the Feds. The Feds don’t dare lose.

Montana is trying to be the refuge of choice for the John Galt crowd. Where can you go to get away from all of this silliness? Montana!
Anyone know if there is somewhere warm to live in Montana?

This would be a good law for other states, like Tennessee.

In my unstudied opinion, a state has the right to interpose itself between an individual and the Federal government. Along with that recall, that a sheriff is the highest elected law enforcement officer in a county and as such can prevent any other law enforcement officer from arresting a county resident with out his permission.
