Delete comment from: The War on Guns
Don't forget Montana's bill regarding the 2nd Amendment, and their refusal to submit to Federal Gun Laws for weapons and ammunition manufactured within Montana for use solely in Montana.
Personally, I think it's about damned time the States woke up and realized what un-Constitutional really means. If nothing else, those in power in each State do not want to lose power to the Feds - they'd rather retain that power for themselves.
The advantage to this is - even if the State's Officials abuse their power, it is far easier to bring them to task at a State level than it is to do so at a Federal level.
Personally, I'm all for encouraging this kind of behavior on a more universal basis amongst the states, and am considering sending copies of the three documents from Montana, New Hampshire, and Washington State to my State Legislators along with a request that they do something similar.
This opens a whole new front in the war against Tyranny in my opinion, one that is far easier for those of us in more liberty-leaning states to wage successfully.
