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.

“A well REGULATED militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. ” That is the second amendment word for word. The word regulate literally means control. If you have a problem with executive orders then tell Congress to act, and stop taking their orders from the NRA. No one is coming for your guns. If this went to a federal court it would be overturned.
You’re right as far as the word regulate means control: “control or maintain the rate or speed of (a machine or process) so that it operates properly.” (Google) The problem is that the second amendment doesn’t mean the government is supposed to “regulate” the militia. If you read “being necessary to the security of a free state”, you would realize that the idea was for the militia to be regulated well enough to defend itself against the possibility of tyranny by the government. It makes no sense for the government to “regulate” a militia that is in place to ensure the peoples liberties. You neglect to acknowledge anything else in the second amendment. I’ll save you the trouble of looking up the definition of the word infringed: “actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.), act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on”. (Google) In this context, “acting so as to limit or undermine the right of the people to keep and bear arms”. – which is exactly what is going on.
congress already acted. they voted on this and the gun banners lost. I wonder if you will still be ok with the president continuing to illegally make or rewrite laws once there is a president you don’t agree with is doing it.

I know they want to make background checks tougher but they didn’t change any fed laws that I know of and if they did what one?…so Idaho refusing to follow a federal law that has not been changed means they are ok with anyone regardless of criminal background and/or mental health having a gun and they are doing this out of spite…paranoid people are what they are acting like and a bit on the immature side. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live my life every day being afraid and feeling like victims the way you all do.
