Montana's Challenge

“Governor Brian Schweitzer's signature is all that is needed to set up a potentially explosive battle between state sovereignty on the one hand, and smothering, centralized federal power on the other.”

This is right out of the movie "The Second Civil War"  While the plot there was ostensibly a rebellion against immigration policy, its scope covered constitutional overreaching by the Federal gummint. “ Montana-made guns may form the basis for a court showdown over states' rights if the governor signs a bill to release some firearms in the state from federal regulation. The proposed law aims to exempt firearms, weapons components and ammunition made in Montana and kept in Montana from federal gun laws. Since the state has few gun laws of its own, the legislation would allow some gunowners and sellers in the state to skirt registration, licensing requirements and background checks entirely. ” The question is, will a governor who bragged that he  rigged the 2006 Montana elections in favor of the Democrat Party sign it? .
