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.

Will someone please , please jail this fucking imbocile , he is not a GOD. does he work for the people who elected him ? I think not…he is in fact becoming a vile dictator, whom thinks he can do what he feels when he feels the urge…I know his term is almost over….but I for one TRUST HIM NOT…He has until the last day of his term to try and destroy all that matters to this country…
Make all the gun laws you want. The low life’s will get one if they want one no law will stop that. Hell the laws in place aren’t enforced now.
Glenn Farmer Supremacy clause means Federal law over rules State law. If a State makes a law in conflict with a Federal law, the Federal law supersedes.
Hope that helps you understand.
This is great. Nullification and interposition. Go a step further and make it a crime for any feds to try and enforce actions not granted to them in the Constitution. For example some EPA bureacrat busting on a state citizen for anything to do with non navigable waters
There was just a shooting in Kansas, but I’m sure they are welcoming the help and assistance of the FBI and ATF.
God, I bet idiots like you have been spewing this$#%&!@*for almost EIGHT YEARS, and in a short time Obama will be out of office, meanwhile you and everyone else has MORE guns than they did when he took office. What b******t are you going to spew then?
I am so ashamed I voted for him the first time around
Nathan Lee $#%&!@*
The Federal Government needs ti be trimmed down and made to realize they are the servant not the master.
“The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest and best, that the states are independent as to everything within themselves, and united as to everything respecting foreign nations. Let the general government be reduced to foreign concerns only, and let our affairs be disentangled from those of all other nations, except as to commerce, which the merchants will manage the better, the more they are left free to manage for themselves, and our general government may be reduced to a very simple organization, and a very inexpensive one; a few plain duties to be performed by a few servants.” That is a great Thomas Jefferson quote, but what country is he talking about? I certainly don’t recognize it.
Sid, don’t forget where we live, California. Maybe the other 49 states will follow suit, but Ca. Fo get about it.
