I love it when there is something good to report about the state of gun rights. Read the article and listen to the whiney-bitch, pussy-assed anti's cry big bleeding heart tears about it. Good stuff!

Anyone have a tab on how Montana is doing with their new law? Theoretically they should be able to manufacture SBS, SBR, AOW, and suppressors there without any Federal involvement. I haven't been on SilencerTalk in a while so I don't know if anyone has made anything and/or challenged the law yet. Anyone know?

I haven't heard anything other than the ATF sent a letter to FFLs there and in Tennessee where this started and told them they would be in violation of federal law if they followed their states laws.

If a new gun manufacturer came up and started it business in one of those states, and sold guns/suppressors etc to only residents, i don't know if there would be a whole lot the feds could do.

what amazes me is Obongo tells the feds not to prosecute people for medical marijuana drug use (which you know is absolute bullshit in most cases) for certain states that say their state law allows it (but there is no proof of where that marijuana came from...), but following state law and selling firearms that are clearly made in said states because they are stamped "made in montana/tennessee" is a violation...

I think what needs to be done is wait until after January when the Supreme court will either uphold or turn over the Chicago case since Chicago said the Heller decision doesn't apply to them. If the ruling is upheld, then it will automatically mean Montana and Tennessee have every right to sell what they want without federal involvement. If the Chicago case is overturned, there will still be a fight to try and get it tested, probably a case that will need to go to the supreme court.

In one way i want to see states be allowed to do as they please just for the reason Monatana and Tennessee are doing this, but on the other hand you will have to watch every county and city ordinace you drive through if a certain state allows those citys and ordinances to pick whether or not they will follow the federal law and the state law.

Comparing this the medical marijuana is a great comparison, just not the way that you went about it. First, it doesn't matter where the pot came from, as there is nothing in the law that states that it must be grown in the state. Second, the feds keep busting up state legal grow facilities, both in California AND here.

So you are right to bring up the point of if it's good enough for medical marijuana, then it should be good enough for state gun laws as well.
