The State of Montana Legislature enacted a far sweeping gun bill, and the Governer has signed it. The bill says, that guns manufactured in Montana, and used in the State of Montana are not covered by Federal gun laws. This gun law requires no waiting period, no forms to fill out. Political pundits say if the Federal Government interferes with this law Montana May vote to secede.
Ammo too from what I understand their argument is if it does not cross state lines the Feds can suck it because it is not interstate commerce.
Why do you think its a good thing to not have people go through some sort of procedure to secure firearms?
Iâm not talking about anything near the shit New Yorkers have to do but whats wrong with making people wait a couple of weeks to do a decent background check?
I just love Montana. We were headed to Big Sky to ski and the Limo driver was doing about 80 or 85 and I said, âLook out for that copâ. He said, âWhy, I am not doing anything stupidâ? The speed limit on that road was 65 and it was not a divided highway. They donât babysit every little breath you take.
montana is âredâ country, plenty of native americans there. most of which are forest firemen/women, met quite a few in the military from there. youâd be amazed how cool CT is. jump through a couple hoops take the class and they do a background check and you get a CHL permit. walk in to a shop once you have your permit, itâs cash and carry. pay the $200 destructive device tax and you can purchase a silencer after a 6-9 week waiting period which isnât the states decision, itâs waiting on the federal government, they stock silencers in most gun shops. same with full auto and belt fed weapons, pay the $200 tax, wait, and itâs yours. mount the SOB to your sunroof if youâre feeling froggy. i had to sell my guns and get a shotgun when i came back to ny sadly. itâs at least a Mossberg M590A1 Police/Military issue
nm, op apparently did not quote from the bill itself.
âA personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Montana and that remains within the borders of Montana is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of congress to regulate interstate commerce.â
If montana wants to do this then the responsible thing to do would be to verify that the people purchasing the weapons are from the state that enacted the legislation.
I believe that was half the point. Montana has been sick of the feds pushing them around for awhile. There seems to be a general consensus in Montana that they shouldnât have to obey the federal government. I personally agree with them because states need to have some pulling power against the feds.
It honestly doesnât make sense why the res of the country should determine how one state can live. We are to diverse of a nation for suppression like that.
Didnât know theyâve been getting pushed aroundâŚI thought that they were taking an unnecessarily strong stance for the hell of it. From the looks of it, they donât have many gun laws anyways.
Should be interesting to see how it pans out though.
âGun control is a steady handâ I am all for this NYS is a pain in the backside and fight my right to bear arms, Erie County is no better 13 months to get a pistol permit is crazy.
