| This week, Wyoming lawmakers introduced a bill banning the federal government from enforcing an assault weapons ban or a prohibition on high-capacity magazines in the state, calling the effort an attempt to “take the Second Amendment seriously.” The bill, which is sponsored by eight Wyoming state representatives and two state senators, calls for federal agents who attempt to enforce those measures to be imprisoned for at least one year and up to five years, and fined a maximum of $5,000. It also contains broad language prohibiting any “public servant … or dealer selling any firearm in this state”

It is nice that they are confirming the 2d Amendment.

I would move to Wyoming, but I´d never sell my house here in California without taking a devastating loss. It´s too cold in Wyoming to live in my car.
Apparently Utah is also looking at this kind of legislation. This will be interesting.

The second amendment does no grant us any rights. It prohibits the federal government from infringing on our God given rights; period.
So regulations of firearm laws are pretty much left to the states.
If New York and California want to ban semi-autos and high capacity mags! Knock yourself out.
But the rest of the states cannot be regulated by the feds, they have NO JURISDICTION!
Here in OHIO we have no problem with the current firearm laws. Only criminals.
So Biden, Schumer, Lautenberg; Feinstein, Cuomo, Reid and Pelosi; Stick it!
We won´t follow your stupid socialist laws!

Other than that, Wyoming is like the America we remember as being America.

By passing this bill, it will put all the federal gun control laws on trial, to determine their constitutionality. More power to Wyoming and to the people of the USA!

FTA: "Legal experts agree that the Wyoming bill is illegal under the Constitution’s supremacy clause, which holds that enforceable federal laws trump state laws when they conflict." Our young hero, Joshua Boston (multiple ironies in that name) nails it perfectly:

The Wyoming legislators are not as foolish as a cursory look might suggest. A gun or accessory manufactured, sold and licensed within the State is beyond the Interstate Commerce clause of the Constitution. The primary violation will be the Tenth before the Second comes into the picture. Actually, beyond my pay grade, as they say.

Oh really? As another poster said, I wonder how these alleged "legal experts" view the newly-minted states laws which legalized the controlled substance known as marijuana in CO and WA?

I lived in Wyoming for 29 years but never really felt at home there. I spent a few years in Utah and hated the place. Beautiful state, but very controlling people. My work dictated where I lived.
I checked out several states before deciding to move to the Black Hills area of South Dakota when I retired. I feel extremely welcome and at home here. I´ve never been around nicer people. Gun ownership is as easy as it gets. Same with concealed carry permits. I feel so safe here that I almost feel stupid carrying a weapon.

If they plan to repeal the 2nd Amendment, we might as well repeal the 16th Amendment along with it. There would be weeping and gnashing of teeth on both sides.

All I care about is people fighting back against the tyranny of Obama,no matter what form it takes.
We may be losing the national PR war against the left right now but people aren´t just sitting around hand wringing.
Our problem isn´t our policies but inability to get like minded people to the polls. The dems flash dollar signs and their voters turnout. We have to figure out how to get "sit out" people to the polls and sue the government over a lack of border enforcement. That´s where the left´s voters are coming from.

#16...as far as I am concerned the "sit out" Republicans voted for Marxism, Socialism and Obamacare and probably too dumb to know it.
Yes, it´s their right, however, I have no respect for their contributing to the downfall of this country.

Wyoming doesn´t have enough private land for good patriots to move to. Most of the state is owned by the feds and you can´t breathe on it or you´ll suffer getting arrested and locked up for 20 years.

You may be forgiven if you missed it during last week’s tsunami of scandals, but President Obama finally let slip that he is a socialist. Buried in the 17th paragraph of one of those mewling New York Times pieces on the woes of Obama — can we start calling him Woe-bama yet? — appeared these two words: “going Bulworth.” Obama himself, the Times explained, has been “longingly” telling his inner circle that what he’d really like to do is what Sen. Jay Bulworth, played by Warren Beatty in his 1998 movie “Bulworth,” did: to go public as

Appearing on Sunday morning on ABC News’ This Week, White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer told a credulous George Stephanopoulos that the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups was “inexcusable,” and that the law with regard to the activity was “irrelevant.” “I can’t speak to the law here,” he said. “The law is irrelevant. The activity was outrageous and inexcusable, and it was stopped and it needs to be fixed so we ensure it never happens again.” When asked for clarification, Pfeiffer expounded: “What I mean is, whether it’s legal or illegal is not important to the fact

Appearing on CBS’ Face the Nation, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said that it was “largely irrelevant” who edited the talking points the Obama administration trotted out in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Host Bob Schieffer asked, “That was just a PR plan, to send out somebody who didn’t know anything about what had happened. Why did you do that? Why didn’t the Secretary of State come and tell us what they knew, and if they knew nothing, say ‘We don’t know yet?’ …. Why are you here today?

On Fox News Sunday this morning, White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer was asked by Chris Wallace where in the White House President Obama was during the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans. “Question,” asked Wallace. “What did the President do the rest of that night to pursue Benghazi?” Pfeiffer answered, “Look, the President was kept up to date on this as it was happening the entire night, from the moment it started until the very end …. I recognize that there’s a series of conspiracy theories Republicans have been spinning about it

The Homeland Security Department has granted legal status to 99.2 percent of all illegal immigrants who have applied under President Obama’s new non-deportation policy for young adults, according to the latest numbers released Friday. That’s a slight drop from the 99.5 percent approval rate reported last month. The policy, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, grants legal status to most illegal immigrants under the age of 31 who came to the U.S. before age 16 — usually brought by their parents. They are allowed to remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation, and are given work

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
