BOISE, Idaho — A lawmaker who had his firearms bill killed in the 2013 Legislature has complained to the secretary of state that it was torpedoed by lobbyists who weren't properly registered.

Remember. AP has been vociferously anti-Second Amendment.

Maybe he should get the IRS to go after them. Oh, wait....

Is the “I-da-ho’” rep trying to regulate spud guns? (LOL)

Good! Up with lobbying, down with Idaho Rep.

Lobbyists who weren't properly registered. Gee, they might be ordinary citizens exercising their rights to be represented.

We have enough trouble.

Wow. Sounds like somebody did a good job...

[marktwain]

The Representative says the lobbyiest was responsible for killing the pro-constitutional bill (it made it illegal for state peace officers to enforce federal anti-Second Amendment law).

You can not tell the players without a program...

If you read the article, the Rep introduced a bill to make it a crime for a local to go along with federal gun lawas that restricted gun rights.

I like the intent of the bill. I suspect the law enforcement union types objected. Not consistent with the union support of RAT policies.
