Back in May Montana passed House Bill number 246 which in a nut shell refuses to acknowledge the federal governments gun laws and regulations and sets its own standards for weapons produced, sold and used within the state.
Recently Tennessee passed a similar bill and the ATF has sent out a letter to gun dealers of each state ordering them to ignore the state laws and to follow the ATF's federal and un-constitutional rules and regulations.

The Texas legislation apparently didn't make it to a vote this term but several people have hopes for it in the next session. The list of other states seriously thinking about similar legislation is already pretty long and growing with Alaska, Minn., and South Carolina currently having bills in the house and 11 other states with strong support for such legislation.
What does all this mean? Well as I have written in this blog numerous times I feel feminism, liberalism, and the over-reaching of the federal government to be connected in more than just a left leaning party way. Gun control and the loss of states rights is an issue that feminist groups strongly support as they know only through large government can their agenda be passed without close scrutiny.
To this end I strongly suggest any mens activist support stronger state government and individual rights and freedoms. If you live in one of the states supporting such moves throw your voice in with that support and lets get big federal government out of our houses, bedrooms and personal lives.
