As progressives, rallied by the Obama administration, actively work to curb Americans’ gun rights, one state has raised it’s hand and said “Stop!”
Just last Friday, Idaho announced that it would neither enforce nor abide by federal gun laws. The move was made possible by a measure introduced in the state’s House and Senate and passed unanimously by both chambers.
The law could very well be one of the most serious challenges to the federal government’s anti-gun agenda. Per the wording of the bill, Idaho law enforcement officers would face up to $1,000 in fines as well as misdemeanor charges if they enforce federal gun laws. These punitive measures will likely go a long way in discouraging Idaho LEO’s from collaborating with feds trying to enforce gun laws in the state.
Naturally, the federal government, to say nothing of this virulently anti-gun administration, is not going to be happy about a state rejecting it’s statutes regarding gun ownership and usage. Indeed, after a similar law was passed in Kansas, former Attorney General Eric Holder, a true maven of the gun control lobby, wrote a letter to Governor Brownback threatening legal action against the state over it.
Let’s hope that Idaho is able stay strong if Obama and his goons try to stop them.

Good for Idaho
Lol!!!! You people have short memories. Years ago the federal government made every state change their dui laws to .08 as the highest limit. Many states protested this. Some, like missouri, refused to change it for 3 years. The government shut off their federal government funds for highway and bridges. Even with Budwiser supporting and making up some of the lost revenue, we lasted 3 years and had to cave in. Believe it or not,…. if the US government wants to enforce a state to do something they wish not to do, ….. there are other ways then making laws or threats to a state. They just shut the money off. 68% of all funds to states highways are funded by the US government. Some day you people will figure out that the $$$$$$ makes many of the decisions in state, local, and goverment issues. And by the way,…… I do not see one item that the Obama administration mentions on gun control that infringes your right to bare arms. Not one issue has anything to do with your right to possess a firearm. If I’m wrong, please show me a factual statement that shows differently. Show me one issue on gun control that infringes on your right to bare arms. Just one please.
What laws or issues on the table are infringing on the 2nd ammendment? Please someone, name one that is a direct impact on the right to bare arms. Name an executive order that goes against the constitution. Not what could happen or might happen or the agenda, ….. show me one!!!! Good god, …. Bush Jr. With the majority vote rebublican in the house at the time, Changed our Constitutional rights on search and seizures with the patriot act. ACTUAL CONSTITUTIONAL LAW that was changed!!! Obama hasnt changed anything on the 2nd ammendment and you freak out yet Bush actually took your rights away and some of you have the balls to downgrade Democrats as stupid voters????
I only wish the people in control in Virginia weren’t pantie wastes, and would hold ground
It’s against your right of privacy for the government to even know you own a gun. They have taken so many rights away over years that allows them to try to take more
Federal law has been determined to be null and void! For those who have heard of sanctuary cities, a state can decide whether or not to obey any federal law it chooses. The feds can’t choose what federal law they are choose to enforce. Enforce all or none!
True that. “Federal” land in any state is there because that state ALLOWS it to be. ANY sheriff has the authority to decide if a federal agent can come into his territory at all, whether to serve warrant or arrest someone. If a federal agent does so without the consent of the sheriff then they can be arrested. Most sheriffs, however, are hand in hand with federal agents these days and I wonder who they really work for.
All states need to follow through on this and do the same. Congress needs to defund anything and everything they can that this traitor does by ignoring the constitution of our great nation. Get him out of our HOUSE….
