As legislators returning to Little Rock on Monday (Jan. 14) prepare to grapple with budget, health care and education issues, bills dealing with guns also are expected to receive attention.
A Facebook post over the weekend indicates a gun bill modeled after legislation in Wyoming could surface in Arkansas. The 2013 Wyoming bill says any federal ban on semi-automatic firearms or the size of a magazine or “other limitations on firearms” would be unenforceable in that state.
The three-page Wyoming measure also would impose felony penalties on U.S. agents attempting to enforce federal gun laws in the state.

State Sen.-Elect Jon Woods, R-Springdale, said in a message posted on the Conservative Arkansas Facebook page Saturday he plans to introduce similar legislation this year in Little Rock. The House and Senate convene Monday at noon.

Jon Woods is my buddy! I'm glad he won, this bill should pass quickly.
It's a smart political move imo. This subject could be one of those get you on the national map type of deals.

All of us in the liberal media took a vote and decided that legislating a pissing contest between State and Federal is always good for business.

I have guns. Everyone I know owns guns.
If a police officer can carry it, then I can have it in my home.

Damn right!
I'm sick of these liberal pukes making symbolism over substance laws to placate the ignorant, low information masses. The feds can go frick themselves as they will never take what is rightfully mine. Not only will Arkansas tell Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, and the other liberals to shove it up their sorry asses but many other states will as well. People think I’m being unrealistic but I really believe the United States will become Balkanized within our lifetimes and it will all start in Texas, followed by Oklahoma, Arkansas and several others.

Debates like these always remind me of an old Jack Handy quote:
quote:
“If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think about how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.”

The "Wyoming measure" would be unconstitutional under the Supremecy Clause. The 10th Amendment doesn't give state's the ability to decide which federal laws will apply. But, at least it wouldn't result in a huge waste of taxpayer money defending it in courts like all the stupid stuff that apparently Oklahoma is doing.
If federal law made owning an assault weapon illegal, the federal government could enforce that law and prosecute it through the federal courts. The "Wyoming measure" is just a ploy to get votes from people who don't know any better.
