ATF Asserts Its Authority To Montana and Tennessee

So writes David Codrea in his National Gun Rights Examiner piece - complete with a copy of the letters.

Both Montana and Tennessee passed laws this year stating that the federal government had no authority over firearms manufactured in the respective states that are only sold and used in those states.

Some 2nd Amendment scholars hinted the laws likely would not stand if challenged but ATF apparently decided they were not going to wait before a court told them the laws were hollow.
