![]() All any gun company would have to do is to move an assembly plant into the state and it becomes exempt by law, and an assembly plant could be set up in basically any old empty gas station, school, warehouse, or retail store...... Set up, start up cost would be minimal, overhead very small... All they would need is a small skilled labor pool and that could be had by canvasing the machine shops.... ![]() Can you say new industry and jobs in the state....

| I heard the talking heads on FoxNews talking about these state laws and I think it was Judge Napolitano who asserted that it's current SCOTUS law that the federal government can still regulate wholy intrastate trade if that trade bears a substantial similarity to trade conducted interstate, so just because every part is stamped "MADE IN MT. NOT FOR EXPORT FROM MT", if the gun still looks and operates similarly to guns which are exported from Montana, then the intrastate manufacture of the weapon would still fall under federal regulation. First step in taking something like this before the SCOTUS would be to get that reversed.

| The Montana Version Sucks... as I previously itemized, it totally defeats the purpose... NOW, the New Hampshire Version on the other hand is much better... HCR6 (2009) | New Hampshire Liberty Alliance E.G.: ... That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to: I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State. II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law. III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law. IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or foreign government. V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press. VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any State not seeking to form such a government; and That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the house clerk to the President of the United States, each member of the United States Congress, and the presiding officers of each State’s legislature. ... |

| This is an attempt to overturn a SCOTUS decision from the '40s. A farmer was told that growing an acre of wheat, grinding his own flour, and baking his own bread was a matter of interstate commerce. That decision has given the feds access and control in many areas where they don't belong. The point of this new law is to try and regain some states' rights. If things are put back at the state level, we as individuals can have a slightly greater level of control.

| True, but I believe that it is dangerous to do it using firearms. Firearms are NOT a state right, they are a natural right of each individual. So, even if we win, we lose because now that sends a message to the states that they may regulate firearms however they wish. As Bo stated earlier, this is especially true because the MT law excludes machine guns. If it's not all-inclusive it leaves it wide open for all sorts of twisting and misinterpretation, just like the SCOTUS decision regarding the commerce clause in the 40's that you are talking about.

| to reiterate what i posted previously... MONTANA HB246 2009 SUCKS! AKA: "Montana Firearms Freedom Act" THE MONTANA VERSION SUCKS! AND WE NEED TO GET IT AMENDED FAST, BEFORE THIS GETS BEFORE SCOTUS! EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A MONTANA RESIDENT, WE ALL NEED TO TAKE ACTION ASAP... THAT MEANS WE NEED TO WRITE THE MONTANA SHOOTING SPORTS ASSOCIATION (The original lobbyist of the bill) and the Governor, and Legislators in Montana and commend them for their actions, but make them painfully aware that it is HIGHLY DEFICIENT, AND AMBIGUOUS IN ITS CURRENT STATE! AND WE NEED TO WRITE GLENN BECK AT FOX NEWS, THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION AND GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA AND TELL THEM THAT THEY ARE MISLEADING FOX VIEWERS, AND SUPPORTERS OF THE UNABRIDGED SECOND AMENDMENT WHEN THEY OMIT THE EXCLUSIONS OF THE MONTANA BILL, AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT IT GETS AMENDED BEFORE IT GETS TO COURT! OR TOUT HOW MONTANA IS A MODEL STATE OR HOW GOOD THIS IS FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT! THIS NOW INCLUDES AT LEAST TEXAS, ONE OF THEIR LEGISLATORS WAS ON GLENN BECK FRIDAY NIGHT 05/15/2009 AND STATED THEY JUST INTRODUCED THE MONTANA BILL AS WRITTEN IN TEXAS! IF you have not figured it out yet, THIS IS A HUGE FRICKING PROBLEM FOLKS! THE MONTANA BILL AS WRITTEN TRANSFERS ONE INFRINGEMENT TO ANOTHER... Quote:

From the ATF website, http://www.atf.gov/firearms/building_a_firearm.pdf, "Building a Firearm" Question: Is it legal to assemble a firearm from commercially available parts kits that can be purchased via internet or shotgun news? Answer: For your information, per provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, an unlicensed individual may make a “firearm” as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution. The GCA, 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3), defines the term “firearm” to include the following: “…(A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may be readily converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive: (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or silencer; or (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.” ....There is a lot more about purchasing imported parts and firearms which is illegal under GCA, NFA and 922r Compliance. |
