Unless there really are tigers.
DiFi's bill qualifies. I see it as unconstitutional, and I'm not the only one.
The National Disaster which would shake the foundations of America should armed Federal Forces invade Wyoming and engage it's state and local governments, police, National Guard and private citizens in a major shootout_what national disaster are your referring to?

But like I said, I don't believe the Feds would actually do this for much the same reason that the LA Rodney King Riots were permitted to continue uninterrupted by Police and National Guard_
The City of Los Angelos didn't want the bad publicity that aggressive police action would have brought on in much the same way as what Washington DC would like to avoid in a rebellious state_
Of course the people of Wyoming wouldn't bring on near as much bad publicity from the main stream media as the Los Angelos rioters would have demanded because of their special minority status_
I like the idea of removing the high standard of having to prove that a person knowingly sold to a felon--making gun trafficking a federal crime, any crossing of state lines with weapons for sale. Any sale to someone not allowed to own a firearm without a background check would leave the seller liable, under new federal law.
BTW - this Wyoming thing will never be signed by their Governor. It's just a lot of fringe political theater.
Ask California 'medical' marijuana distributors how that works out.
Californians can't shoot. (Sorry CalGun)
most of the good shots left the state when it started harassing honest people. USA shooting moved the olympic trials out of california because the guns used in the olympic rapid fire event are banned as assault weapons in California. Colorado and George now host the trials
i didn't know about that natural disaster
would you please provide a link
a link please - no tin foil
Completely off the mark as to what I stated Deuce_The funny part is where you think state police would actually engage federal agents or military personnel.
I recall seeing videos of armed Korean shop owners defending their businesses while the police were no where in sight and even heard reports of LAPD withdrawing and of the city burning as firefighters were being attacked by rioters for lack of police protection_I love your conspiracy theory about the LA riots being "permitted to continue." I'd ask you to show some evidence for this, but we both know your answer would just be some cop out about how I need to go educate myself.
Timeline: LA Riots | NBC Southern California
The riot was 5 days in duration "from April-29 untill May-3" followed by "Violence and crime breaks out sporadically on May-4th"_
"Some 53 people died, thousands were injured and $1 billion in damages were recorded during days of looting, assault and arson".
I see no reason to discuss the 1992 LA Riot any further_PJ Media » Controversy over Rodney King Beating and L.A. Riots Reignites
Later that Wednesday afternoon, Los Angeles broke out in rioting that wasn’t quelled until Saturday. Sporadic violence continued until the following Monday, and when the curfew at last was lifted, fifty-three people were dead and large swaths of the city’s commercial districts had been looted and reduced to ashes
He also defended his decision to withdraw the officers under his command from the flash point of the riots, a decision that was condemned by Gates and cited by the Webster Commission, formed to investigate the Rodney King affair, as a “critical error” that contributed to the riot’s escalation.
Completely off the mark as to what I stated Deuce_
If you had took the time to check the preceding posts you would have found that I was simply responding to someone else who suggested an aggressive Federal response in Wyoming, to which I replied that I didn't believe this was likely to happen_
Next time, research before you attack Deuce__Liberals trying to play "GOTCHA!" is such an annoyance_
I recall seeing videos of armed Korean shop owners defending their businesses while the police were no where in sight and even heard reports of LAPD withdrawing and of the city burning as firefighters were being attacked by rioters for lack of police protection_
IMO, the Rodney King beating was a crime and the cops responsible should have been convicted but still yet the riot was aloud to get way out of hand for whatever reason_
I see no reason to discuss the 1992 LA Riot any further_
I was 5 years old at the time and draw my conclusions from what I've read, videos and common sense, 20 years after the fact_
Actually, "permitted" may have been a less accurate choice of words on my part than "the authorities were not aggressive enough to effectively stop it"_your surmise that the rioters were "permitted" to riot because they were not stopped by government agents is as absurd as pretending terrorists are "permitted" to create havoc because they were not caught by federal agents before they perpetrated their harm
Actually, "permitted" may have been a less accurate choice of words on my part than "the authorities were not aggressive enough to effectively stop it"_
Which could be construed as "permitted" if it was a conscious decision by those in charge_
Not "prevent" a crime but actually stop a crime when it is being commited right in front of those whose job it is_kind of like 'permitting' crime when we are not active enough to prevent it
As the Obama administration plots various assaults on gun rights by “executive order” and legislation, proposals described as “very extreme” even by some Democrats, state lawmakers in Wyoming have another idea. Republican legislators are rallying behind nullification legislation that would void unconstitutional infringements on the right to keep and bear arms, even providing prison time for any federal agents who may try to enforce Washington, D.C., gun control in the state. Lawmakers expect it to pass.
The new bill, H.B. 0104 or the “Firearms Protection Act,” would nullify any new federal infringements on the constitutionally protected gun rights of state residents — who enjoy some of the lowest crime rates while being among the most heavily armed people in America. Unconstitutional federal gun registration schemes, as well as restrictions on semi-automatic guns or standard-capacity magazines, would also be nullified under the legislation.
There are teeth in the proposed law too: Any federal official attempting to enforce unconstitutional statutes or decrees infringing on gun rights passed after January 1 of this year would be charged with a felony. If convicted, criminal officials would be punished by up to five years in state prison and a $5,000 fine. The legislation also authorizes the state attorney general to defend citizens of Wyoming if federal authorities seek prosecutions under unconstitutional gun control rules.
Wyoming Bill Would Nullify Obama Gun Control, Jail Feds
Alright Wyoming.They say the Fed tries and takes their Rights.....it will be a crime. Already they have Police Chiefs and Sherriffs are already working on Strategies to protect gun rights in their jurisdiction. They are wasting no time with this State Legislation.
focusing on the absurdity of your statement that our government "permits" such crimesNot "prevent" a crime but actually stop a crime when it is being commited right in front of those whose job it is_
Of course law enforcment officers must be trusted to use what ever force is necessary to accomplish this, limited only by their professional judgement with no personal biases, emotions or preconceived notions_
I never intended to make the LA Riot a major issue__What happened, did you guys get tired of the OP subject?
I love it! especially the part about arresting federal agents who try to infringe on the Second Amendment.
Awesome... "Come here to take guns and your ass is in a jail cell."
Good for Wyoming.
What a lot of these urban progressive tyrants don't understand is that guns not only protect us from tyranny but also put food on the table in rural areas. What people don't understand is that 90% of the country is rural. People still live off the land in some places - It's 50 miles to the closest store and they go maybe once a month for supplies. Wyoming is certainly one of those states where people live that way.
I'm glad predominately rural states are telling the city folk with their progressive ideas about gun bans to go f themselves.
Well said. Instead of harassing law abiding citizens with these nonsensical gun control proposals, why don't libs just cut to the chase and make murder illegal? :roll:
Now there's a novel idea_Well said. Instead of harassing law abiding citizens with these nonsensical gun control proposals, why don't libs just cut to the chase and make murder illegal? :roll:
Progressives are attacking the wrong crowed - they know this - they know it's their voting base that are committing all these gun crimes but they have no desire to stop them because that would prevent tragedies that could be exploited for personal gain.
Agreed. Misdirected proposed solutions do seem to be the defining characteristic of the progressives. Their intellectual gyrations to avoid reality can be really awesome to watch, particularly if you are into slapstick humor.
