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.

Its time!
the 4473 is a permission slip. If we need permission, that is not a RIGHT. “….shall not be infringed…”
Stupid and dishonest.
I wish that all states would follow Idaho.
Federal laws do not come from the Executive Branch of government even if the President owns a telephone and a pen. Executive orders do not equal federal law. Federal law is designed and written in the House of Representatives and sent to the Senate for confirmation. The President can at that point veto or approve. He makes no federal law.
Does not history teach that it was such federal demands and control over the rights of the states that spawned the Civil War?
The war of Northern Aggression.
It will be ultimately decided in the courts.

actually, the second amendment which trumps the tenth amendment says that the right shall not be infringed. this means both by the federal gov, and by the state. so really not even the states can do it..
