Gun rights activist proposes state solution to help curb federal abuses

As part of required education for licensing, federal employees acting within the state of Montana would need to complete basic training that includes instruction concerning “[t]he Constitution and laws of Montana, including the right to privacy ... [t]he culture of Montana people and their expectations of service providers, including ethics[and] [t]he oath of office.” Additionally, “Administrative, military, outdoors and law enforcement workers must complete advanced training ... that includes instruction concerning ... [i]ndividual rights that the state's citizens have reserved to themselves from interference by government workers.” [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes an outside the box proposal that may help rein in currently unaccountable feds.

Perhaps they could explain how that differs from economic fascism.  I see they're a "Member of the Utah Cattlemen's Association." Perhaps they could explain...I see they're trying, but I have to go by what they're letting a member get away with...

Although you have previously denied that your staff made inquiries to the IRS about conservative organization True the Vote that may have led to additional agency scrutiny, communication records between your staff and IRS officials – which you did not disclose to Majority Members or staff – indicates otherwise...[More]

We are pleased that Mark Boughton has ended his affiliation with Michael Bloomberg’s organization, although I am not sure that the timing of his departure will help his campaign at this point, or even if his leaving MAIG was intended for that purpose. [More]

This Day in History: April 10

The inclosed from captain Pray came to hand a few minutes since with the two New-York papers. The serjeant who was the bearer of the letter acquaints me that after he left captain Pray he was informed that a party of refugees landed early this morning at Haverstraw and took several militia men, and then reimbarked. Probably this manoeuvre is a feint to cover a design somewhere else on the lines. I have written to captain Pray, that if the brig and boats remain at anchor against his post, to move up with his boats at night, and take his station at Kings-ferry; or if he cannot get by them, to haul his boats over the bank where they can be defended. I have detached one hundred men from the 10. [More]
