HELENA - Montana-made guns may form the basis for a court showdown over states' rights if the governor signs a bill to release some firearms in the state from federal regulation.

The proposed law aims to exempt firearms, weapons components and ammunition made in Montana and kept in Montana from federal gun laws. Since the state has few gun laws of its own, the legislation would allow some gunowners and sellers in the state to skirt registration, licensing requirements and background checks entirely.

I would like to see their constitutional rationale on this.

Since guns are SPECIFICALLY mentioned in the Constitution, and therefore different that other items, I would say the Federal Government wins on this.

You can't have it both ways on the 2nd Amendment
