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.

Read the Federal Constitution it does not trump the States Constitution, the Federal Constitution enumerate the federal government’s powers. The states have abdicated that power to the federal government for the last hundred years. They are just invoking the right to take it back
I can’t wait til I don’t have to see or hear about that sub-human scum that calls himself Obama.
Leslie Tishmack so with your logic, health insurance did not exist, so how could Obama use the commerce clause to enforce the law? Read up on what the founders meant and not your opinion. Well regulated then does not mean your definition. But I see so much ignorance by folks like you that think you know better than over half the adults in this country. Also even the Supreme Court’s decision on the matter proves you are full of ignorance. And history for that matter.
Tobias von Neubronner, read up on our history before commenting on what we need or don’t need. And over half of the adults in the country disagree, who cares what you think?
NOT GETTING MINE.
First state to be$#%&!@*slapped by the Supreme Court
No it does not
Without the second amendment all other rights can be taken away at any time
Really?
These guys are advocating for states to disobey the Federal government?
Well. A bunch of states tried that before. 1860? Yeah, around about then. Something like that.
This is one that will be heard loud and clear in the coming months/years. It will land in the Supreme Court for setting the precedent for the future! Let’s hope they get it right!!
