HELENA, Mont. -- A federal judge in Missoula is dismissing a lawsuit launched by gun rights advocates and states seeking freedom from federal gun laws.

The decision from U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy was expected since his magistrate a month ago recommended tossing out the lawsuit.

Think about it.

This is a suit.
The plaintiffs are several States.
The defendant is the United States.

The judge WORKS FOR THE DEFENDANT!!!!

Can we reasonably expect any other outcome?

This one was a squib. You’ll have to tap the bullet out
of the barrel before you can fire again.

If congress don’t have jurisdiction the Federal courts can’t be assumed to have any kind of jurisdiction.

They sure as hell don’t have the power to grant themselves or congress jurisdictions. Not only is it a conflict of interest its a usurpation of the Constitution.

The ones that make me nervous are a bullet jammed in the forcing cone AND still protruding into the cylinder of a revolver. You can't open the cylinder and you might have live rounds in the remaining charge holes.

I had one experience with .44mag ammo purchased at a gun show. One shot in my S&W 629 with 4 inch barrel and the other 5 rounds unseated the bullets from the brass. They were poking out the front edge of the cylinder. I pressed them back flush and unloaded the unexpended rounds. The whole remaining container was run through my Lee Precision Factory Roll Crimp die. The vendor used a taper crimp as he was firing them from a Desert Eagle. You can't do that with hot revolver rounds.

Wow. I have had em and they just plain make me nervous.

Still, the damn thing has to be cleared. So after my first squib, I made a squib tool that keeps my hand out of the line of fire and and another that holds the breach open to mitigate against misfire in the open.

If the round fires and goes through the barrel it will fling the tool out of my hand and hopefully at most I will suffer a nasty cut.

If it goes off in an open breach well... it’s going to what it’s going to do and then it’s “Oh well”.

LOL

Now the appeals begin

Hope we have five or six allies on the US Supreme Court when the appeal gets there.

Voting for other than Republicans has long term consequences.

The States should just ignore the Fed, let 'em send in Holder to have a chat with the local Sheriff's where they can tell him to go pound sand.

Isn't that the point of this law: ignoring federal overreaching. The fact that a federal judge approved of this overreaching should be meaningless to Montana. Just do what California did regarding medical marijuana: disregard federal law and any court (even Supreme Court) ruling that goes against you.

Having allowed California to nullify the Controlled Substances Act and Gonzalez v. Raich, the Liberal Messiah would be hard pressed to treat Montana differently in this case. Of course, I put nothing passed him.
