Americans 'Collecting Torches, Pitchforks' Over Feds' Arrogance - Montana Lawsuit Plaintiff Tells Supreme Court Justices To Rein In Washington
Bob Unruh * WND
The plaintiff in a Montana lawsuit seeking freedom from federal gun regulations has written an open letter to members of the U.S. Supreme Court, where his case soon is to be appealed, pleading with them to rein in the federal government’s arrogance and conceit.
“The natives are beyond restless. They are at the stage of collecting torches and pitchforks and preparing to head for the castle gates en masse,” writes Gary Marbut, president of Montana Shooting Sports Association and author of “Gun Laws of Montana.”
Marbut sued U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in 2009 seeking a court order that would allow him to manufacture and sell within Montana his self-designed “Montana Buckeroo” .22 rifle without complying with federal gun laws.
He is defending a law he wrote, the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, which declares firearms that are manufactured in the state after Oct. 1, 2009, and remain in the state are exempt from federal firearms regulations.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in August that his law is preempted by federal law requiring the recording of transaction, license fees and government inspection.
In his letter, Marbut charges the problem is “overweening federal power,” describing the government’s attitude as “overconfident, conceited, cocksure, cocky, smug, haughty, supercilious, lofty, patronizing, arrogant, proud, vain, self-important, imperious and overbearing.”
He insists there is plenty of evidence for his assertion.
“Nine states have enacted Firearms Freedom Acts, and 23 others have introduced FFA clones and may yet enact them,” he points out.
The movement to enforce states’ rights, as provided by the 10th Amendment, goes beyond gun rights, Marbut writes.
