“What kind of idiot thinks that our Founding
Fathers were protecting deer hunting?”

Good to see Wyoming is taking steps to prevent the Obama administration from repealing the 2nd Amendment: House Approves Bills Exempting State From Federal Gun Control Measures ~
The House voted in favor of a bill that would seek to block the federal government from restricting assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. It amended the bill to specify that federal officials who tried to enforce any ban would be subject to state misdemeanor charges instead of felony charges.
Bill sponsor, Rep. Kendell Kroeker, R-Evansville, said Wyoming should get its position on record before a new federal ban comes down.
Of course, our reality-challenged friends on the Left sees things differently:
Rep. Mary Throne, a Democrat and attorney in Cheyenne, said some states have tried such nullification laws in the past. She said such efforts were common in the years before the civil war and then during the civil rights movement, when some segregationist states tried to ignore federal law and practice nullification of federal laws.
“If we want to make a statement we can do it, but let’s not let’s not pretend that it’s consistent with the Constitution, because it’s not,” Throne said.
Right Mary. Instead we’ll pretend that re-writing the 2nd Amendment is consistent with the Constitution.
And that there’s no 10th Amendment.
And the “right to bear arms” is all about hunting.
Or “bare” arms 😀
