Agreed! I think Salem and Olympia are in competition to out-do each other with draconian gun laws. It would be a distinct pleasure to see the feds put the clamps on these yahoos.Being in a state that is pushing the boundaries with their legislation and continue to push more, this would be a huge thing for me and my neighbors. Fingers crossed, rabbits foot, four leaf clover and light a candle for the Virgin.
Agree in concept but the reality is that many of us now suffer under the "tyranny of the majority."Let's hope this doesn't. This isn't how the US was built. We aren't made for a strong, over-arching federal government, we're made for a unified group of states with their own laws, guided by the constitution. And, with the 2nd being an individual right with the aim of ensuring states have well-armed militias in times of need, it only makes sense that under that framework, states can put certain requirements in place regarding arms where that aligns with the constitution and the state's inherent rights as to its militia, which is very limited in scope.
Personally, I think that states should be required to maintain state firing ranges and provide for training for its militia, including rifle marksmanship and pistol skills. That would fit the mandate for the states to maintain a well regulated militia alongside personal choice and ownership of firearms for all purposes, not just that narrow approach.
The right solution, conservatively, is never "larger federal government" or "more federal laws," it's "state's rights."

You’re kidding right ?Let's hope this doesn't. This isn't how the US was built.
