Like Montana..Texas firearm freedom law tiptoeing through Legislature

[srkruzich]

Very few people know this, but i can build my own gun and not have serial numbers nor registration nor ballistics done on it.  I can buy a gun and all parts associated with it that has not been completed.  I then take and cut two notches on the frame so that the slide bar can slide when fired and that completes the gun.  Under federal law, it is considered manufactured by me.  I don't have to put any serial number on it nor do i need to notify the feds of its existance.  I can build a ar15 rifle too in the same manner.

From Gary Marbut:
I have been invited to be on the Glenn Beck Show this Friday to talk about MSSA's Montana-made guns bill. This Tenth Amendment assertion idea is going viral. Clones of our Montana HB 246 have been introduced in Alaska, Texas and Tennessee. I have information that clones are being prepared for introduction in Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Washington, and maybe some places I haven't heard about.

Just in case you've been living in a cave, HB 246 declares that any firearms, ammunition and firearm accessories made and retained in Montana are not subject to any federal regulation or control under the power given to Congress in the U.S. Constitution to "regulate commerce ... among the states."

The message I will carry is that since the states created the federal government, it is the states which must get their creature on a leash and enforce the literal terms of the Tenth Amendment, and that state-made and retained guns are a fine vehicle for beginning that Tenth Amendment assertion.

If plans work out as laid, I will be on the Beck Show Friday, 5 to 6PM, Eastern time. I am told that this show is on from 3 to 4 PM in Montana. HB 246 sponsor, Rep. Joel Boniek (R-Livingston) is scheduled to be on the show also.

FYI, I've done interviews with the Associated Press, USA Today and Newsmax about HB 246 and the state-made guns movement. MSSA is definitely in the news!

Also, somebody is building a "Montana Firearms Freedom Act" page on Wikipedia. Way cool!
