That's a good move Colt45, like to see all states get on board.
Guy's you might send copies of this to your elected officials and state your approval.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] I am always happy to see it when a state passes one of these bills and I also wish more states would do it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] However, it always make me ask myself the question, How long would it be before the feds pull federal funds from states that passed these bills. Think the 70's and the gas crisis and the mandatory 55mph speed limits. If I remember correctly some states lost federal $'s because the refused to lower their limits.[/FONT]

If the Feds cut Federal funding to states that enact this type of legislation, then we STOP sending in TAX dollars to D.C. send it instead to the state Capitials. I remember reading about States Rights vs the Federal Gov in the 1860's and Virginia was involved:rolleyes:
