HELENA - Montana-made guns could spark a court showdown over states' rights if the governor signs a bill to release some firearms from federal regulation.

House Bill 246, sponsored by Republican Rep. Joel Boniek of Livingston, seeks to exempt guns made and kept in Montana from federal background checks and dealership licensing. It also applies to ammunition and weapons components.

The measure passed the Legislature easily, and now awaits action by Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer. The governor has not taken a position on the bill, which its supporters hope will trigger a legal battle to affirm states' rights. They say it is less about firearms, than testing the Constitutional basis for federal control over the states.

Glocks final assembly is in GA.   Hey that would mean...............

Dag nab it.  Our general assembly just finished for the year!    At least we still don't have mandatory seat belt laws for pickup trucks.  A minor thorn in the federal's side.

if it gets passed I'm sure the state will be trampled by the might of the Fed. Gov't.  Or something like that, You know we've already had one war over states rights, and BHO seems to like to compare himself with Lincoln, maybe he will get the chance.

I am thinking fondly of my yahoo GOP legislators who are actually starting to look pretty good right now.
FQ13 with visions of a kel-tec sub-16D with 11" barrel threaded for a suppresor and folding stock and complete rail system dancing in his head. As Ping said, I'm left handed and I'm going to sign off now. Ewww Rah! indeed. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
