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.

THE SUPREMACY CLAUSE Article. VI. This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
‘The text decrees these to be the highest form of law in the U.S. legal system, and mandates that all state judges must follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal law and either the state constitution or state law of any state.
Although the specific text only binds the judges of a state to respect national laws, Article VI has long been understood to apply to all branches of state government. And, though the Constitution was changed in 1791 with the addition of the 10th Amendment, protecting the rights of the states, that amendment has not given states the power to veto or ignore national laws.
Richard DeLozier that is right and obviously no 2nd admendment rights have been infringed upon.
The legislators in Idaho need to look at the multiple Supreme Court decisions, dating back to the 19th century, that explicitly state that States do not have the power or authority to nullify federal law. Nothing more than a cheap political stunt designed to appeal to uninformed people.
OK states stand up and flex your muscles.
All states should ignore any and all laws that infringe upon the second amendment…
What gets me is the aristocracy in this country will overturn every single law in that nation when they discover in the fourth and fourteenth amendments some newly found right to marry a person of the same sex. They fine businesses and jail county clerks who refuse to participate, etc. Then you have the second amendment spell out a right to bear arms and nothing happens to state and local ordinances or businesses and organizations who infringe on those rights. It has all become very arbitrary.
We have criminals in the white house, un, what more you need? Not to mention perverts..
