The Arizona Legislature has passed, and Governor Jan Brewer has signed into law, HB 2307, more commonly known around these parts as the Firearms Freedom Act. The Arizona Citizens Defense League, which fully supported the bill, sums it up thusly:
"HB 2307 exempts from federal law or regulation firearms manufactured and sold in Arizona as long as they remain in Arizona."
In other words, firearms made in Arizona, sold to Arizonans and which remain in the state will not be subject to BATFE or any other Federal jurisdiction or control over their creation, sale or use.
This is a welcome assertion by a state of its rights under the Tenth Amendment. In a telling bit of news, Arizona isn't the only one making such a bold statement:
"Arizona just became the sixth state to pass a Firearms Freedom Act. About 20 other states have introduced similar legislation."
Thanks to Governor Brewer and the Legislature for sending a clear, unambiguous message to the gargantuan Federal Government that there are indeed limits to how much it can overreach into the lives of the common peasant.
We're just wondering who's going to market the first Arizona-made fully-automatic Sten clone. We're saving our pennies now.
