I think there was something about this in Montana a few months ago. When a firearm is manufactured and sold in the same state it’s none of the FedGov’s business. Once it crosses state lines they can get involved, as long as they stay within the constitution.

When you think about it, the FedGov, relative to the states, is kinda like the EU, relative to the member nations. They don’t try to tell France what speed limits they should have.

Oh, no, that was actually several years ago, and while Montana was the first to enact this, the legislation is now law in something like 8 states. You can see a map with status of this legislation in the various states, as well as other information at FirearmsFreedomAct.com

Why continue to use the twisted logic of the Left RE: Regulate interstate commerce? The regulate: to make standard in conformity; NOT: to hold power power over.

Let alone follow with the 2nd faux pas, that the current ‘laws’ are Constitutional to begin with!

If our own here on FR can’t get it down correctly, what the hell does anyone expect from those in D.C. in front of the cameras?
