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.

While I agree that the states have every right to do their own thing, I also agree with the Feds when they say “you don’t like it? Then we’ll withhold all dollars coming your way. Yep, they can do that and will. Just watch how fast the states back down.
Well back when the founders made the law they that everyone understood and any man with the money could go but a firearm and keep it in his house it was said that the Supreme Court had to enforce this later because liberals started saying take the guns
Yes let’s make cars that can’t go over 70mph
I do believe you could have argued bush was the worst president ever but then Obama came and destroyed that argument
Executive orders are not law.
And to those Progressives who think they are, just ask yourself what your reaction would be if a Republican President issued Executive orders, restricting the available of Abortions. Requiring a mandatory waiting period, a psychological evaluation to determine whether the person wanting the abortion was competent to make the decision. Finally, putting a restriction on how many abortions a woman could ever have.
Now, you’re thinking…welllllll…If I really wanted to support them, how would the Government know unless they caught one being performed in an unauthorized fashion? Those EO’s wouldn’t stop me….
Now do you understand?
If you’re an honest person you do.
Easy solution, don’t obey – don’t get any Federal funding.
Thanks chuck I agree
ALASKA BETTER GET ITS ACT TOGETHER
Funny how my history book never mentioned that… Class of 93…
the dictates are not law… no need to follow them…. and this administration has failed at enforcing existing law
