The Charleston Voice passed along this little tidbit.
HELENA -- Lawmakers in the Montana House of Representatives collectively thumbed their noses at the federal government Monday by approving two bills exempting guns from federal regulations and driver's licenses from national standardization requirements.
The bills by Reps. Diane Rice, R-Harrison, and Roger Koopman, R-Bozeman, do different things but are driven by the same concern: the erosion of personal liberties by the federal government.
Koopman said Monday his gun bill, House Bill 366, would inspire a home-grown industry of gun-makers who produce firearms to be sold in Montana. It also sends a message reaffirming states' rights.[...]
Rice is sponsoring HB 304, which would prevent the state from cooperating with the federal government in establishing nationwide standards for noncommercial driver's licenses.
[...]
There was virtually no debate about the bill before lawmakers voted 94-6 to pass it, with a third and final vote expected today.
My question is - how do we find and elect state legislators in other states that actually understand The Constitution, the nature of the federal compact and the concept of States' Rights?
Montana is apparently leading the way in the battle to preserve the rights of the states against the continuing usurpations of the Federal Government.
