Well...Holder Was Looking For a Gun Control Battle...

...it appears that he got one. And this is only the beginning.

Montana to feds: Hands off our rights - Lawmakers suggest Congress should be on trial in gun law dispute

quote:

The brief was filed just days ago in a lawsuit that was brought against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder by the Second Amendment Foundation and the Montana Shooting Sports Association in U.S. District Court in Missoula, Mont.

It seeks a declaration that the federal government must stay out of the way of Montana's management of its own firearms.

While Montana was the first state to adopt such legislation, six other states already have followed suit: South Dakota, Wyoming, Tennessee, Utah, Idaho and Arizona also now have Firearms Freedoms Acts on their books, and Alaska has plans that essentially are awaiting the governor's signature to become law.

Gary Marbut, chief of the Montana Shooting Sports Association, said probably another two dozen states also are in various stages of considering such plans.
