This is only a test...

There's been quite a bit of attention given to state sovereignty lately, particularly with a number of states passing resolutions reaffirming theirs. The problem with resolutions, whether the New Years type or the state legislature type, is that they don't amount to much if you don't follow through with them.

I was happy to learn that the Montana legislature has done just that. On April 15th, a state law went into effect which exempts guns made and kept in Montana from federal regulations.

I don't suppose the federal government will be able to let this law stand, and I don't know if Montana will prevail.

But it as good a place as any to start, and it does go along nicely with their state sovereignty resolution.

Besides setting an example for some of the less resolute states.
