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.

People will illegally sell weapons to others without a background check. A new law will not stop that.
Michael. Why keep stating that no one is going to take guns away when many politicians including at least one running for president have publicly stated just that, e.g. Hillary Clinton’s suggestion to model a mandatory buy back program?
I go by Websters definition Chad Lundak, it means control. Maybe you need to look at a dictionary, and I have studied my history.
And further more in any dictionary legal or otherwise it NEVER mentions equipped.
Use the search engine on your computer and you will have examples galore, private parties can sell and buy weapons online with no background check. The measures we have in place are being circumvented by individuals that should not have access to weapons. We need laws that would prevent this from happening. It is the right of every American to protect themselves but on other hand such right in undermined when guns reach the wrong hands. In short law abiding citizens should be able to own weapons no the crazies.
Bill. Why keep perpetuating the right wingnut myth that the left wing loonies are going to take your guns?
