It’s the next battlefield according to Time, and it’s not going to be based on 2nd amendment rights, no sir, it’s going to be riding on the 10th amendment.

Here’s the out take:

Montana has passed a law allowing local gun manufacturers to sidestep federal regulations as long as the weapons they make are sold within the territory of the state. “It’s a gun bill, but it’s another way of demonstrating the sovereignty of the state of Montana,” Democratic Governor Brian Schweitzer said, according to the AP, as he signed the bill into law in mid-April. “I like big guns, I like little guns, I like pistols, I like rifles, and I would like to buy a gun that’s made in Montana.”

In a nutshell, the 10th amendment is what Mr. Schweitzer and Montana lawmakers are leaning on. Which is sure to launch a battle like we’ve never seen before. It’s not about the right to bear arms, it’s about state rights and how far they really go.
