Not what you think it would say..

http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2013/Introduced/HB0104.pdf

I searched on here and didn't find a single thread about it so I figured I would post it up. I like where this is going or at least how it is worded. Will probably end up like that Montana NFA law though.

You're going to get flamed from the regular crowd telling you how futile and stupid those bills are. Those same small minds would have told the founding fathers that forming their little continental congress was stupid because it violated British law.

Firearms Freedom acts are an important part of reclaiming states' rights from the federal government and pushing back against the abuses of the commerce clause.

Hell yeah - go Wyoming!

This is what it is going to take - it is officially a culture war and we have to start drawing the lines on the map, state by state.

It has nothing to do with the liberal hate speech term "AWB."

It is a Firearm Protection Act.

Amen to that. Still waiting to see how our, Louisiana, "strict scrunity" amendment that overwhelming passed in November will protect us from the retards in Washington. I like this one better though.

More freedom is never a bad thing.

Did you see the penalty for an official trying to enforce an AWB? Felony! Good for WY!

Just read the bill, and if real: Holy shit-snacks!! If that's enacted, the population of Wyoming is gonna increase a lot. The wife and I were planning on seeing Yellowstone this year. First time for both. Maybe I'll grab a real estate brochure (yeah, I know all that shit is online now). We've both wanted to go west (not Cali obviously).

Jesus H you almost gave me a heart attack. I read the title and thought WY was trying to introduce its own AWB like IL or NY.

But...my WY didn't fail me :) I love my MT and WY :D

Good luck Wyoming. They also pushed for a bill that would allow them their own aircraft carrier. I hope this bill has better luck.

Come one, come all, but don't bring any of your Bull Shit ideas with you.... ((Whiny voice)) I don't like mining, or drilling for oil or fracking or ranching, and solar power is a great idea.

We mine coal, drill for oil and natural gas, log, ranch and other manly things. If you don't like those things and are against them, stay the fuck out. If you are a solid citizen and don't mind a little wind, come on over!

Oh, yeah... We like guns too.

Meh, not really.

Yeah, the aircraft carrier was in the proposed legislation, but the reason it was requested was to draw attention to reckless
Federal spending, pork, budget deficits, the national debt, etc.

You should have seen the comments posted all over the Internet by folks who thought our legislators were being serious. Or maybe
you did? Absolutely grade A classic.

EDIT: It was 31 degrees when I got up this morning at 7:00am. Exactly a week ago it was -28 when I left the house for work!

This is what we need to do, guys. Send your state reps specific examples of what we want. We all know that sometimes all it takes is for one state to grow some balls, and others fall in line.
