Thank you, Wyoming!
Nothing. There are no business licenses in WY.
Just hang up your shingle like the old days.
WY also has one of these lowest tax bills in the nation.
I wonder if they would accept me as an immigrant someday.
I hope every state does this. (well, the very bllue ones won’t.)
I’d be angry at Texas for not beating Wyoming to the punch, but the Texas legislature is not in session.
“Annie-Rose Strasser at Thinkprogress says the Wyoming bill has “one glaring problem ... If the federal government were to pass ... [restrictive gun] measures, the bill would be unconstitutional.”
Nonsense, since such federal laws themselves are unconstitutional. Gun grabbers are criminals and should be thrown in jail:
“Section 241 of Title 18 is the civil rights conspiracy statute. Section 241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree together to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the Unites States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Unlike most conspiracy statutes, Section 241 does not require that one of the conspirators commit an overt act prior to the conspiracy becoming a crime.
The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.”

Good on ya, Wyoming!
More states need to be reminded of nullification as a way to deal with Federal overreach.
Neither the Declaration nor the Constitution establish a supreme central government. And, the Constitution is very precise and clear in its words and its intent...
The enumerated powers outlined in the Constitution are the framework within which the central government has jurisdiction. The fact that the words and intent and of the Founders have been usurped by power grabbing socialists is a sad commentary on the state of patriotism in the US.
But it is the reality we face.
It is time to force the federal government back within the confines of the Constitution, and reclaim the freedoms we have given up over the last 200 years.
This may not be connected to anything of this topic but the timing is suspicious, the feds for many years contributed to the upkeep of the Alaska Highway on a notoriously bad section for many miles before crossing into Alaska from Canada.
Some people are saying its a warning to Alaska to not be getting any wild ideas.
This is untrue -- a corporation entering into a contract gains rights from that contract. For example, if your company contracts with another, say to provide for the raw materials [say Iron] you need in exchange for 5 cents/ton above the opening market-value each month for the tonnage you'll need for the month & preference on delivery, and the other company goes out of its way to provide other companies their product first -- then your company has legal rights stemming from the contract.
Likewise, the Federal government was created by the contract that is the Constitution, the other parties -- being the States -- do have rights.
Now, if you were to qualify your statement with the word 'natural' I would be in full agreement with you: States do not have natural rights.
