Let Freedom (and Gunshots) Ring!

State governments are asserting their constitutional rights

Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer (a Democrat!) signed into law a pro-gun, anti-Fed bill.
(The bill) exempts Montana-made firearms from federal regulations.

Schweitzer also signed into law a bill clarifying gun rights, which says people don’t have an obligation to run away before using a gun in self defense, landlords can’t control whether tenants have guns and people who use self defense should not be presumed guilty by police.

That's right. Guns made in Montana and used within that state cannot be regulated by the Federal Government. That means assault rifles, machine guns, Thompson sub-machine guns, Gatling guns, chain guns, howitzers, guns with silencers, guns with loudeners... All untouchable by the Feds.

Utah and Texas are hankerin' to do the same!

Meanwhile, in Oklahoma, home of the fine conservative US Senators James Inhofe and Dr. Tom Coburn, state legislators have passed a bill asserting Oklahoma's sovereignty.
Rep Charles Key says the bill...
would tell Congress to "get back into their proper constitutional role.” The resolution states the federal government should "cease and desist” mandates that are beyond the scope of its powers.

Key said many federal laws violate the 10th Amendment, which says powers not delegated to the U.S. government "are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” The Constitution lists about 20 duties required of the U.S. government, he said. (Source: NewsOK.Com)

Key Points to Remember Regarding States Rights and The Constitution

1) The Constitution is a set of instructions from We The People to the Federal Government.

2) The Constitution was established by the thirteen original states as a delegation of certain specific powers to the federal government so that the rights of the people might be protected.

3) Our inalienable rights come from God,
not the government or the Constitution. The Federal Government and the Constitution don't bestow rights, they safeguard them.

Peoples' Rights and States' Rights: Two Amendments

9th Amendment
:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

10th Amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Let the cowering metrosexual liberals surrender their freedoms in their high-tax, crime infested, shriveled blue states. Out west and down south...
Let Freedom (and gunshots) Ring, Baby!
