Every state in the union should do legislation such as this with ALL of our rights. Farmers are suffering because of regulation, and most industry is failing because of regulation, and that is all we ever hear about, regulate this and regulate that. Federal government needs to stay out of our business and leave us alone. Maybe if enough states do this, they will recognize the need to downsize or scale down the size of government. They are there to govern not to rule.
@Valeria Lindholm
VERY WELL PUT VALERIA! My thoughts exactly. Under our constitution states were given specific rights so the federal govt. could never seize absolute control and it would be forced to listen to the voice of the people. We need to use those rights and QUIT letting the fed. govt. railroad Americans.
VERY relieved to see Washington State is onboard with the Firearms Act. I fully support it and will be writing my legislators today to let them know that.
Would it be possible to add to the “Intending FFA” lines a link or links to supporting information (e.g. bills, news articles, etc.) so that local supporters know what and who to work in support of?
Thanks!
Yes, please put up links to the states FFA efforts so we can rally behind them.
Congratulations Ohio on turning “blue”!
Come on North Carolina, lets get this passed!!
Arizona needs to go Blue and then Green Please !!!
Wyoming will consider this during the 2010 Legislative Session. the porposed bill can be seen at this site. http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2010/Introduced/HB0028.pdf
New Hampshire actually has two bills summited. one with criminal penalties and one without. Hb1285 and Hb 1433
As resident and a citizen I say each State be Sovereign and the federal Government should abide by the Constitution only and do only as they were originally set up to do. N.C should pass the law and tell the Feds. to keep their nose out of the States business. My sentiments personally!!!!!!
Please add the status for Arizona’s SB1098 and HB2307. (Both are past the committee with 4-3 and 5-2 votes respectively)
On another note. I’m not fully versed on amicus curiae, but will it be published if amici are provided for this court? Is it possible for individual states to write briefs or sponsor briefs?
Unfortunately the Arizona bills do not expressly include sound suppressors.
http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1098p.htm
I noticed that sound suppressors are exempted as an accessorie, what about short-barreled weapons(SBR,SBS,AOW) that wasn’t mentioned. Would they be exempt from federal laws are would the bills keep them in their current NFA status?
With regard to Texas, you might want to change its status on your map. While the bill passed out of committee, it died on the floor when the Legislature adjourned without having had time to do anything further with it. Until someone re-introduces it during the next session (2011?) this issue is deader than a doornail.
We have a second FFA bill in Wyoming. This one provides for criminal penalties for attempting to enforce federal regulations.

Oklahoma needs to “GO GREEN”, and I don’t mean we need to drive electric cars…
Utah just passed SB 11 Utah Firearms Freedom Act and was sign into law by Utah Gov. Herbert today
Now to further push the issue of “States Rights”, more legislation needs to be passed concerning the other categories regulated by the BATFE. Now we need state legislation regulating Alcohol & Tobacco produced and consumed with in the state. Also “Explosives” should be regulated by the local Sheriffs Department as with CCW permits, not some desk jocky in The District of Columbia.
Also with following New Hampshire’s example, more states need to pass laws and set penalties on State and/or Federal Enforcement Officers, Federal Prosecutors & Federal Court Judges for attempting to enforce federal criminal laws or prosecute state citizens for intrastate activities when there is no Federal Jurisdiction. Also we need to remind the Sheriffs of each county that they hold Ultimate Jurisdiction over the Fed and they (the sheriff) are obligated to protect it’s citizens from Federal Government corruption and unconstitutional laws.
Mississippi (the big hunter state) has not yet done ANYTHING? WTF? Time to flush some baphoons out of office. This is a complete embarassment!
We need to get all the states on board, its the best way to help fight agaist the New World Order!
WY HB0095 is the one to watch on this issue. It is the Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act and passed on 3rd reading 3/4/10
