as ive been saying recently in other threads big gov is bad atleast in america and was never intended to play the role it has now assumed.apparently entire states feel the same way.Montana ,Texas, Utah,and more are sure to follow, are proposing legislation to get the feds off their backs and back in place. for all my liberal friends i first heard of this breaking story on FOX NEWS 🙂 www.policalc.com/2009/05/08 montana-flips-fed-govt-the-bird-texas-utah-to-follow/ I am interested in hearing opinions on this pro or con

Utah and other states are working on similar legislation (w/more teeth) asserting individual states rights
Your link doesn't work. What exactly is Montana doing?

Originally posted by KazetNagorraits no minor point! Its potentially HUGE! the feds have been mis -using the original intent of the inter state commerce law to bully around the states and dictate to them all sorts of non sense. they already said they r going to fight this in the supreme court regarding montana. if the courts go in favor of the states w/their interpretation it will shrink the power of the big fed gov over the states.the way it started out over 200 yrs ago,as it should be.

Being from central and northern Idaho, I grew up around gunnuts who sincerely believed that the government was going to come to their door one day and take all of their precious guns. According to them, one of the most important reasons for owning guns is so that they could fight of the government when it came to expropriate them.
Having escaped that tiny corner of the earth, I've come to realize that people outside of central and northern Idaho couldn't care less about the people living there. I find all the anti-fed, pro-gun BS ignorance at its most outrageous.
Originally posted by utherpendragonPerhaps you have not been following the news this year. Gun and ammo sales have gone through the roof since Obama was elected. People irrationally believe that he's out to take all their precious guns. That's what I was referring to. I don't think it's too difficult to follow really.
i dont follow your logic on either of your statements
