OUT of state business. The Federal government, as most agree, has no business stepping into state business and telling individual states what to do. For those that disagree, see the 10th ammendment.After Obama was elected the first time, at least 28 states, including Wyoming, had the foresight to see Obama and Holder were coming for their guns. These states passed bills re-affirming their 10th ammendment rights, some directly telling the president to butt out of state business.There were many heated debates on ATS, with the typical name calling and racial aggressiveness used to attack people who believed Obama was going to make a move for guns. People were called racist, paranoid, mentally ill. It went on and on.Now, we are facing the sum of all fears. The ugly truth is out now, and regardless of the reason claimed to be the precursor, it was evident from the start this was going to happen. Those with foresight were not so wrong.This new bill prohibits the Federal Government from creating any laws about guns or magazines in the state of Wyoming. It also has jail and fines for Federal agents that attempt to do anything to anyone in the state with refernce to gun bans, and the state if Wyoming will defend any citizen if the Feds arrest or charge them.Now. If only more states remembered theur 10th.
Good for them!More states need to step up and do this. It's shaping up to be the last line of defense.
I feel like this has the possibility of igniting a civil war... Federal government won't like to be told what it can and can't do, we've already seen that.
Federalism is a great thing and the Founders were correct in using it to keep the Federal government in check.I makes me feel alright that the states may stand up to The Leviathan on this one.
It would be cool if they did but they won't. Like I said above, they'll fold this hand as soon as the feds threaten to withhold money and this has happened before. The only way Wyoming could pull this off to the next level is taxing the companies there for the natural resources. And no way it makes it to that stage. Federal law is over state law in conflicting law. If the bill did pass in Wyoming and it passed with teeth that required enforcement it would get ugly. It won't pass. They'll yell about it and not pass it.
That's cool but watch how fast they fold those cards when federal funds to Wyoming are in danger of not coming. seen that happen for less.
and there's the answer.stop all fed funds and watch as the people discover their welfare, Social Security, et al. are not coming in.a quick change of mind will occur.
