Montana to Fed: Give Me Freedom

In keeping with the previous posting, I bring you this from Doctor Bulldog, about the Montana Firearms Freedom Act recently signed into law by Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer. A quote:

Undoubtedly this story is far from over, the last time a group of States
got together and decided to use their Constitutional rights the power hungry
Federal Government decided ignore the Constitution, murdering men women and
children in the process. (You think it was different in the 1860’s? Check
your history.)

Glenn Beck has been carrying this story also. He has had experts on his program that applaud the new law, but point out that whether or not the Supremes find it Constitutional or not is a crap shoot. On the other hand, as Judge Andrew Napolitano pointed out, the more States that are asserting their 10th Amendment rights, the more the courts are going to get the message and listen. Who knew the courts ruled based on the popularity of an idea?
Sevaral other States are looking to enact similar laws including Texas, Tennessee, and Utah. We can only hope the Judge is correct.

But, and this is important: this law, and others like it, are not about guns. Not really. And likely some gun owner, or dealer, or manufacturere are going to "take the bullet" for rest of us. What it is about is reasserting control over an out of control thugocracy that has grown up in Washinton, DC. The States were, and theoretically still are sovereign. This is about that sovereignty.
