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.

Way to go Idaho!!
excellent, they are unconstitutional
The President CANNOT create law. Executive authority does not grant him this. ONLY Congress can create FEDERAL laws. No state is constitutionally required to enforce the presidents new edicts. If congress had a spine they would have impeached this president for executive overreach years ago.
Ever state needs to stand together and stop this nut
I disagree NOT ALL MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE need to be disarmed.
Just the psychotic mentally ill That have been adjucated as mentally unfit, been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital repeatedly, are deemed incompetent by a judge.
Technically the 2nd amendment guarantees the right to bear arms.
Shall not be infringed.
That means everyone has the right to have guns for protection.
Including the mentally ill.
There’s nothing in the 2nd amendment that’s says only certain people can have guns..
It is a guaranteed right for everyone to buy and owning guns for protection.
It better be Texas.
Go Idaho!
Go ahead Mr. President try and take our guns…….
Its really quite SIMPLE……………..
should be a fascinating case of state vs federal regardless of the subject
