Valin Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ricochet: C.J. Box 2/2/13 Yesterday, the Wyoming legislature (fondly known as our "Cowboy Congress") pushed back at the Obama Administration with HB104, the "Firearms Protection Act." It passed the house overwhelmingly, 46-13, and will cruise on to the the senate where I predict it will pass as well. Then on to our governor, who, when I last saw him, was the winning bidder in a live auction for a new shotgun. If enacted, the state will nullify any federal law "which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming; providing a penalty; and providing for an effective date.” (Snip) So a gauntlet has been thrown down. I'm sure there are members out there who will debate the legality of a state opting out of federal gun laws. Personally, I kind of look forward to the prospect of throwing some feds into the state penitentiary. We'll see what happens next. Things just might get western.

Well some lawmaker in Texas has a bill for open carry, well we will see, but I think it’s dead on arrival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Interesting that this was the step too far. I don't think the politicians anticipated that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
