As the Obama administration plots various assaults on gun rights by “executive order” and legislation, proposals described as “very extreme” even by some Democrats, state lawmakers in Wyoming have another idea. Republican legislators are rallying behind nullification legislation that would void unconstitutional infringements on the right to keep and bear arms, even providing prison time for any federal agents who may try to enforce Washington, D.C., gun control in the state. Lawmakers expect it to pass.

The new bill, H.B. 0104 or the “Firearms Protection Act,” would nullify any new federal infringements on the constitutionally protected gun rights of state residents — who enjoy some of the lowest crime rates while being among the most heavily armed people in America. Unconstitutional federal gun registration schemes, as well as restrictions on semi-automatic guns or standard-capacity magazines, would also be nullified under the legislation.

There are teeth in the proposed law too: Any federal official attempting to enforce unconstitutional statutes or decrees infringing on gun rights passed after January 1 of this year would be charged with a felony. If convicted, criminal officials would be punished by up to five years in state prison and a $5,000 fine. The legislation also authorizes the state attorney general to defend citizens of Wyoming if federal authorities seek prosecutions under unconstitutional gun control rules.

Alright Wyoming.

They say the Fed tries and takes their Rights.....it will be a crime. Already they have Police Chiefs and Sherriffs are already working on Strategies to protect gun rights in their jurisdiction. They are wasting no time with this State Legislation.

Perfect remedy for this issue. If the Feds want to infringe on the States, the States should definitely fight back, in one way or another.

It's about time for a revolt. The federal government no longer fears the People nor does it respect the States. It must be taught its lesson again.
 
I agree.....there are 30 Republican Controlled States. If all of them were to do this. That would put a dent in Obama and the Democrats Crawl. I like that part about they are Sovereign Government too.

One thing is for certain. The NRA has been making moves this whole time. Hopefully some of those Pols in D.C are taking Notice too.

I don't trust the Republicans either. Both sides will have to go to the gallows.
 
Mad respect, Wyoming. I'm totally digging this new trend of so many states telling the Feds to go **** themselves like Colorado and Washington.

I like the idea of removing the high standard of having to prove that a person knowingly sold to a felon--making gun trafficking a federal crime, any crossing of state lines with weapons for sale. Any sale to someone not allowed to own a firearm without a background check would leave the seller liable, under new federal law.

BTW - this Wyoming thing will never be signed by their Governor. It's just a lot of fringe political theater.

Ask California 'medical' marijuana distributors how that works out.

didn't realize the population of wyoming was this dense

if something is actually found to be unConstitutional, then it cannot be enforced. no new legislation at the state level modifies that reality

the reich wing politicians are only stating the obvious in that regard

now, if the state officials want to impose their own interpertation regarding what should be found unConstitutional and then try before the state court a federal employee performing his fiduciary responsibilities, expect a show down. not unlike Eisenhower sending in the National Guard to enforce the federal non-discrimination laws in arkansas

for the younger crowd, the state officials lost
 
Scaring Away Elephants

In the middle of the night a gentleman stood on the top of his house singing to the top of his lungs and tearing up a newspaper into tiny pieces and throwing them about.
When the police arrived, they asked him why he was doing all that, he replied," I am keeping the tigers away."
The officer pointed out that there were no tigers in the area.
"I know. I am doing a great job keeping us safe," replied the gentleman.

amd other states are already responding ahead of Obama.

Lawmakers expect it to pass.

"We're a sovereign state with our own constitutional form of government," he told the AP. "We've got a right to make our laws, and if the federal government is going to try to enforce unconstitutional laws on our people and take away the rights of Wyoming citizens, then we as a state are going to step up and make that a crime."

It says that your one size fits all solution doesn’t comport to what a vast majority of the state believes,” Sen. Hicks told the paper about the message federal politicians should be taking from the legislation, telling other reporters that state lawmakers were receiving e-mails in support of the bill from all across America and that citizens were urging their own states to take similar action. “I don’t think this is controversial in Wyoming at all.... I fully expect this bill to pass.”

According to the liberty-minded state senator, even if Congress refuses to budge, the administration is determined to restrict gun ownership by presidential decree. "I think that's the biggest threat we're facing," he told the AP. Sen. Hicks also said that his constituents were “absolutely terrified” about threats from Washington to assault gun rights — especially Vice President Joe Biden’s pledge this week to implement the lawless attack by executive order.

A bill just introduced in Indiana known as the Firearm Freedom Act, for instance, would also protect the rights of gun owners to be free from federal regulations if the gun was produced and purchased in the state. Similar legislation has already been adopted in other states.....snip~


Alright Indiana!!!!!

Some analysts quoted in the establishment press, also presumably unfamiliar with history or the U.S. Constitution, have claimed that states may not nullify unconstitutional federal usurpations as well. Of course, American history is replete with examples of nullification Wisconsin nullified a federal statute purporting to require the return of escaped slaves to their masters, for example. Even Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson helped states void unconstitutional legislation in the early years of the Republic.

More recently, states all across America have been putting their foot down. Even causes traditionally associated with liberals, such as marijuana legalization, have succeeded through nullification — Colorado and Washington state both legalized the controversial plant in November, and many other states have approved it for medical use in spite of unconstitutional federal statutes. Conservatives and libertarians have also been relying on nullification, especially in recent years.....snip~

You were sayin something about Nullification?

[B]Lawmakers expect it to pass[/B].[/QUOTE]

And lawmakers also expected Obamacare to be found unconsitutional. Doesn't mean it stands any better of a chance.

In regards to Indianas law, I remember something being thrown around about 4-5 years ago in another state I believe like that however they still fall under federal regulations IF the gun is found in another state and was used to commit a crime by a felon. This is why they abandoned it. I want to say Montana was that state but I can't remember for sure.

yes. only a fool believes it is possible

you want to cite washington and colorado as indicators that it is. but this a fresh action. we have only to look at medical mary jane laws to see that they are not. or were you unaware that the feds ignored the state law relative to those state licensed dispensaries

Why? You are the one who has lost. Harry Reid has already indicated he will not bring any legislation to the floor of the Senate that he doesn't think will pass the House and that he doesn't think AWB would pass the House ergo, you are going to be the loser in the end.

yea, which is why tejas congresscritter (first term) stockman is already threatening to impeach the president if he issues any XOs regarding gun control

your side has reason to worry. Gabby is now the public face of gun control

Again? When was the first lesson?

Sigh. Another bunch of right wing crackers spouting bull****.

You like that idea? Try this on for size....I know that you are anti-gun and I have a gun that I never registered. One day I get stopped and the cops ask me where I got the gun so I give them your name....now you have to prove that you didn't sell me the gun or rot in jail. Hell, I'll probably be allowed to plea down to almost nothing by giving up a trafficker.
 
Really? Where was the racial slur?

And I repeat my question - when was the first lesson taught by the states to the Federal Government? 1861?

If Wyoming or any other Hillbilly Haven tries that again, I'll be first in line at the enlistment office even though I'm probably too old.

Now if they, or any other folks want to secede and form their own country, I'll help them pack.

You don't see calling people "crackers" as a racial slur?
 
Not unless 'cracker' is now recognized as one of the world's races. The last time I checked, it wasn't.
