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 man could care less of the words shall not be infringed
Affirmation, to make a contract. Obama may be the worst so far, but many in government of years past are just as guilty!
No different than the passage of the “War Powers Act”, passed by Bush, this too is unconstitutional. Does anyone talk about that?
I would rather have an armed society that protects life, than an unarmed society that is disregards life!
A State’s Constitution can have all the powers it requires, that the federal Constitution allows it to have. The federal government IS limited at “… shall not be infringed”! The 10th Amendment is started there for the States and their Constitutions. Then onwards to most local levels.
The more local one can keep this issue, the less chances that the Supreme Court will make a ruling. The centralist federal government loves cases like this to flex their power. Which Constitutionally, it can not.
And this is so controversial? Ummm last time I checked, progressive states like Cali, refuse to follow federal law like ALL the time! So, good for you Idaho!
No law made by the federal government is valid, if it is contradictory to the Constitution.
We need sanctuary state for gun owners!
