Several Wyoming lawmakers are proposing legislation designed to protect gun-owners from any potential federal firearm ban. The “Firearms Protection Act” bill, introduced this week, would make any federal law banning semi-automatic firearms or limiting the size of gun magazines unenforceable within the state’s boundaries.

Anyone trying to enforce a federal gun ban could face felony charges under the proposal. It also includes a provision allowing the Wyoming Attorney General’s office to defend any state resident against any federal firearm ban.



Maybe Bama will come up with something similar. Though the people might make a federal gun ban useless.

The sponsor of the bill is Kendell Kroeker, the only Wyoming legislator to endorse Ron Paul.

Here's his FB page (he posts explanations of all his votes):

Wyoming lawmakers propose bill to nullify new federal gun laws (http://washingtonexaminer.com/wyoming-lawmakers-propose-bill-to-nullify-new-federal-gun-laws/article/2518133#.UO93oeR9LwZ)


Wyoming lawmakers have proposed a new bill that, if passed, would nullify any federal restrictions on guns, threatening to jail federal agents attempting to confiscate guns, ammunition magazines or ammunition.

The bill – HB0104 (http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2013/Introduced/HB0104.pdf)– states that “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 firearms in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming.”

The bill is sponsored by eight Wyoming state representatives ad two state senators. If passed, the bill would declare any federal gun regulation created on or after January 1, 2013 to be unenforceable within the state.

In addition, the bill states would charge federal officials attempting to enforce a federal gun law within the state with a felony – “subject to imprisonment for not more less than one (1) year and one (1) day or more than five (5) years, a fine of not more than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), or both.”

The bill also allows the Attorney General of Wyoming to defend a state citizen from any prosecution by the United States Government.

One of the bill’s co-sponsors, Wyoming State Senator Larry Hicks, told The Washington Examiner that this type of legislation sends a message to the federal government in Washington D.C.

“It says that your one size fits all solution doesn’t comport to what a vast majority of the state believes,” Hicks explained in an interview.

Citing the Tenth and the Second Amendments, Hicks asserted that the legislation was Constitutional, adding that he fully expected it to pass in the Wyoming state legislature. Hicks said that his Wyoming constituents were upset about the looming threat of gun control coming from Washington, particularly since Vice President Biden signaled yesterday that President Obama was willing to issue an executive order to tackle the gun issue.

“They are very, very upset that we’re going to see some level of federal takeover of our weapons and abuse of our rights given to us by the Second Amendment,” Hicks stated. “Also that the federal government will bypass our legislative officials and confiscate our weapons through executive order. This gives citizens of the Western United States a great deal of concern.”

Rep. Kendell Kroeker, the lawmaker that spearheaded the bill, explained that he hoped that the federal government would recognize their constitutional rights based on the Tenth and Second Amendments.

"I think that its necessary when the federal government violates our rights in the Constitution we have to act," he explained.

The proposed legislation has recieved a overwhelmingly positive response from their constituents, according to the bill's sponsors, even from citizens of other states.

Kroeker said that since he introduced the bill he has received up to 50 emails from constituents thanking him for standing up for their rights.

“Most of the feedback that I have received is very encouraging," explained State Rep. Mark Baker, a fellow co-sponsor. "Many citizens from other states have contacted me stating that they are envious of our state’s initiative."

Kroeker said that he currently owns several handguns, rifles, shotguns and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle - the model targeted by gun control proponents.

"People in Washington tend to overreact," Kroeker said. "They try to place blame on gun owners punishing in the innocent to pay for the crimes of the guilty."

Hicks explained that the model of the bill was taken from a bill passed in the State of Montana in 2009 adding that it wasn’t much different from what he’d seen other states do.

“I don’t think this is controversial in Wyoming at all,” he added. “I fully expect this bill to pass.”

Then the trick is to FORCE the Republicans in the legislature to vote for it. They don't want to go on record as voting against gun rights so the leadership will try and prohibit a vote on it.

a (as in any?) federal gun law
or
any federal gun regulation created on or after January 1, 2013

regulation? law? Is it can't enforce any law period, but can enforce regulations created BEFORE Jan 1, 2013?

It makes a "slight" difference!

So what happened with the MT bill?
What other states? Details?

No. They enforce their laws against federal agents. Arrest them, charge them, try them, convict them, and sentence them to not a day less than 20 years hard labor or solitary confinement in state prison with no possibility for parole and no visitors. Ever. If such agents bodily harm ANYONE in the course of their unauthorized activity, publicly televised execution by strangulation with a garrot and no head cover should be mandatory. It is time to make all instruments of the federal government quake uncontrollably in their boots at the thought of crossing the pleasure of those they are sworn to serve. I have no objection to killing them in whatever numbers may be necessary in order to restore some marginal semblance of sanity to this nation.

No more Mr. Nice Guy. He's sailed to the Bahamas and will not be returning.

PS: I can barely believe things are coming to this.

And they will respond in kind with even greater levels of force.

I don't want this, but I think there is no choice left anymore.

And I hope everybody understands just how serious this is.

Man you all worry a lot.

If that ever happens, you know what's an interesting thought?
That they aren't the only ones that could do that.

It's fitting that the states that Washington bureaucrats have marginalized the most over the years are the ones that are willing to step up when it counts. Why would any resident of Wyoming have more allegiance to Washington than to their state. How's that central-planning going now D.C.?

Sadly, state law does not trump federal law.

Supremacy Clause.

Bullshit. It does when federal law is unconstitutional:


This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.

You're probably right. But so what? The principle of nullification does not recognize SCOTUS as the final arbiter of what is or is not constitutional. That's the whole point ...
