Arizona passes "Intrastate Commerce Act" through its State Senate last week

[Mexican_Hippie]

Arizona state senate passed this last week. Actually has fines and can arrest Federal agents. I'm very interested in seeing this play out.

"The bill provides that all services performed in the state, and all goods grown or made here for consumption within Arizona 'are not subject to the authority of Congress under its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the several states.'” ..this includes gun manufacturing.


"The bill states that any federal agent or employee who attempts to enforce any federal act, rule or regulation over these activities is guilty of a Class 6 felony. While the measure does not seek jail time, it allows fines of up to $2,000. And any state official that tries to enforce a federal law could face a $500 fine."

Huge can of worms but good for them.. Here in Texas machine guns and silencers would still be illegal. Wonder what the AZ laws are?

Well, with Constitutional Carry I'd think that opens it wide open, but I'm not an expert. This is just very, very interesting. In theory they're on solid ground. In practice there's no telling how this is going to play out. I predict many legal challenges all around.

I like their thinking, but they are gonna get pounded into the ground like a tent spike by the Feds.

No doubt. I can only imagine Sheriff Joe trying to arrest an IRS or BATF agent. Not sure that would all end well for anyone.

Can I get a HELL YEA for Mrs. Brewer?
Tell you another thing yall might find interesting. About a month ago, a friend of mine in Arizona who is very active with Arizona gun legislation, told me No firearms will be illegal in Arizona if it was manufactured within the state.
So take that as a little foresite of what to expect with full auto licensing.
Texas needs this.

Obama could pardon any Fed convicted by Arizona Courts

Wow, this is fantastic. I'm guessing this will really help small businesses. It's more than just gun stuff... It means that any low profit backyard operation can actually operate and do well. Federal regulations make it pretty much impossible for low profit businesses to operate legally.

Maybe so, but Arizona law will protect the citizense form those federal's who "just dont get it"....

I'm kind of embarrased how Texas is regularly shown up in the march to freedom.
