Idaho becomes the third state to pass "nullification" of federal gun laws
From Ben Swann's blog:
On Thursday, Idaho Governor Butch Otter (R) signed a bill, which would effectively nullify future federal gun laws, by prohibiting state enforcement of any future federal act relating to personal firearms, a firearm accessories or ammunition.
S1332 passed the house by a vote of 68-0 and the senate by a vote of 34-0. Alaska and Kansas have also passed similar laws. . . .
Introduced by the State Affairs Committee, the Idaho Federal Firearm, Magazine and Register Ban Enforcement Act, will:
“protect Idaho law enforcement officers from being directed, through federal executive orders, agency orders, statutes, laws, rules, or regulations enacted or promulgated on or after the effective date of this act, to violate their oath of office and Idaho citizens’ rights under Section 11, Article I, of the Constitution of the State of Idaho.”

A similar bill was introduced in the state of Tennessee but it was not passed. The author of the bill was reminded that state law already forbids local law enforcement, etc., from aiding the enforcement of any law that violates the rights of the citizen protected in Article I of the state Constitution.
