Montana's new sovereignty law
vies359:
Today, on the Glen Beck show, they talked about a new Montana law the gives the rights back to the stated via the 10th ammendment. One thing that this does is makes all firearms and ammo manufactured in Wyoming and sold in Wyoming out of the reach of all federal gun laws. Many other states are also doing the same. Nebraska should consider this.
Rich B:
MT's law, while a good start, still doesn't apply to NFA items which would be the ultimate middle finger to the fed .gov.
Sadly, Nebraska will probably the last state to follow suit since we're just about last for everything else (concealed carry, safe haven, etc.).
JimP:
Where does it say it does not apply to NFA? It says firearms manufactured in and that stay in MT, no?

It applies to some NFA items, but not others.

It's a hell of a start though. We should start pushing Nebraska in that direction don't ya think.
I think this law did give the middle finger to the Feds even though the NFA part of it is minimal. At least they did something productive.
