The states can say whatever they want about the limits of federal regulation. Unless the federal courts go along with it (which they won't), all of this is another meaningless political exercise...kind of like the tea parties.

This is an excellent approach. Make the federal government irrelevant in these and other matters!

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE RARELY SEEN AND NEVER HEARD!

This modern-day federalist revolt began with a Montana state law recently signed by Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer. It says that firearms, ammunition, and accessories manufactured entirely inside Montana are not subject to federal regulation, including background checks for buyers and record-keeping requirements for sellers. They would remain subject to state regulation.

Democrats acting more like REAL Republicans than "republicans"...
