States Rights? In Montana?

An interesting post by Apopkasnakeranch. (He has links if you are interested in seeing the actual bill, etc)

Evidently Montana has passed a State law that declares all guns, accessories and ammunition that is manufactured used and kept in Montana as "legal". This basically undoes all Federal gun laws in the State of Montana because the Feds have no jurisdiction. The only way they have had jurisdiction in the past is through the Interstate Commerce clause. 

This is going to force a showdown with the Federal government over this issue and the larger issue of Federal intervention in state matters.

Should be fun to watch.
