New Hampshire Firearms Freedom Law...with a twist...

[Viking]

Looks like New Hampshire might join Montana and Tennesse in the club of "Let's tell .fedgov to go to hell"

I LIKE that!!11!eleventy1!

Any official, agent, or employee of the government of the United States, or employee of a corporation providing services to the government of the United States that enforces or attempts to enforce a act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the government of the United States upon a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in New Hampshire and that remains within the State of New Hampshire shall be guilty of a class B felony. (emphasis added)

I don't like the wording, though.

There's a grammatical error in the red highlighted section.

And, in the blue section, it doesn't address lay NH citizens, merely protects a list of products that might be manufactured in NH.  BATFE can still come and arrest lay folks according to this.

It's only 'proposed'. NH lawmakers have a knack for proposing awesome bills and having them die at a later stage of the process - see also their attempt to introduce an Alaska carry bill a few years back.

True, although some actually become law.

The current push is to get knives protected as much as guns are. IOW, get knives under the 2nd Amendment.

So do I. I always wondered why we don't have more penalties for negligent politicians. Why can't politicians be arrested and tried, or at least sued, for enacting or attempting to enact constitutionally subversive legislation? There seems to be no risk involved in politics whatsoever. I could become a politician, and propose a law to enslave all persons under 30 years of age, tax everything 100%, and or whatever I wanted, and the only risk is that it won't pass. Politicians can just sit and throw massive amounts of *expletive deleted*it at the wall hoping some of it sticks. A while back, a politician in, Argentina I believe, was forcibly removed by the military for proposing some kind of salary or term increase, which is illegal. It was almost shocking to me that they place actual limits and penalties on politicians; we don't really go for that here.

This, as one might expect, doesn't sit well with the feds, and is being challenged.  The BATFE, in the meantime, has already announced its intention of ignoring such laws.

Yeah, the whole BATFE thing right now is essentially a letter saying "But... you can't DO that!"
