Well, it looks like it is game on.
When Texas, Wyoming, and Tennessee all passed their respective gun laws this year, we all knew it was just a matter of time before the Federal Government would step in and scream foul.
The laws in question states that any gun manufactured inside of those respective states, and are bought and sold in those states to legal residents, are not subject to Federal Laws.
And now the ATF has stepped in. They issued a letter to Tennessee's gun dealers that states Federal law Trumps State Law. I would think they have sent the same letter to Texas and Wyoming gun dealers.
So now it is a waiting game to see who will take the Federal Government to court. I am sure it would work its way to the Supreme Court, and heaven help us there.
Besides the threat to gun owners and their rights, in the big picture this move threatens states rights in general.
Going back to the infamous DHS report, anyone who supports states rights over the Federal Government control is considered a possible Domestic Terrorist.
And while this has not made big news yet, as it seems most all things dastardly the Federal Government does, is not widely reported, it is the first salvo aimed at the rights of states to govern themselves.
If the ATF view stands, we will all be one step closer to a federal police state.
