Originally introduced and passed in Montana, the FFA declares that any firearms made and retained in-state are beyond the authority of Congress under its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the states.

Since its passage in Montana, a clone of the Firearms Freedom Act has been enacted in Tennessee, and has been introduced in the legislatures of Alaska, Texas, South Carolina, Minnesota and Florida. Legislators in many other states have announced that they will introduce FFA clones when their legislatures next convene.

The FFA is primarily a Tenth Amendment challenge to the powers of Congress under the “commerce clause,” with firearms as the object – it is a state’s rights exercise

A new site dedicated to keeping track of state laws repudiating feral control over guns not involved in interstate commerce. Thought some might find it interesting or useful. No affiliation with the site.

Well put.

It would be nice to have a map of the states that actually manufacture firearms, for what that is worth.

Machine tools aren`t outlawed yet,they can be moved and set up anywhere there`s power and buildings.

I would not count on Colorado, but it is a a nice compilation of info

Thanks dynachrome!

Another resource available to help us stay informed and maybe more important, to aid us in our efforts to support, protect and defend our unalienable rights; such as life, liberty and the pursuit of firepower.

Jeez, how many websites now?

Meant to ping you guys and ForGod’sSake but had to leave right after posting. I see FGS’s already here.

Hmmm. This sounds interesting. With interstate commerce out of the way, does this imply that one might/could manufacture firearms within the State of Colorado for use/sale within the state itself (without the Feds breathing down your neck)? It does seem like an interesting scenario (and I have always felt the Feds have far exceeded their constitutional authority on interstate commerce since the early part of the last century). I wonder if this is an appropriate test case to challenge the Fed's power/abuse of the interstate commerce racket.

Yeah, Colorado is pretty blue right now. I doubt there’ll be much action in the near future here. Conversely, how many states actually have enterprises that manufacture firearms? My guess is, not many (but that is only a guess). Montana has a pretty nice producer of hunting firearms so that would be appropriate for their state. I'm just thinking it would not be a terribly significant legislative action for a state that has no gun manufacturing. The action could encourage upstart companies though.

You don't say. Have any examples?

Your sarcasm meter is broken. (Though my comment may have been what broke it) LOL

[Las Vegas Ron]

LOL...touche! :)

“You don’t say. Have any examples? “

Heh, heh. Indeed, the comment was primarily for the folks that are primarily gun oriented. You would be surprised (well, obviously you wouldn’t be) at the number of folks that don’t have a clue about the interstate commerce issue.

I get it. ;-)

Well put.

Well put indeed! I just realized that we DO have a “feral” government as per the following definitions;
1.
a.Existing in a wild or untamed state.
b.Having returned to an untamed state from domestication.
2.Of or suggestive of a wild animal; savage: a feral grin.

Remember that crazy grin you see Obama display sometimes?
Now you know what it is called, a “feral grin”.

As much as I’d like to take credit, I stole that from another Freeper. Can’t remember which one right off hand.
