State law enforcement will not enforce federal gun restrictions. This follows actions by other state governors to protect their citizens&#8217; Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Montana law prohibits law enforcement officials and other state employees from enforcing federal restrictions or spending state funds on particular kinds of firearms, ammunition and magazines.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed a similar law earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>In Oklahoma, a bill that would designate that state as a Second Amendment &#8220;Sanctuary State&#8221; is headed for Gov. Kevin Stitt&#8217;s desk.<\/p>\n<p>Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson vetoed a similar measure Friday, saying it would jeopardize law enforcement and the public.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents of the Montana law have said it would make it more difficult for local law enforcement to collaborate with federal authorities on issues beyond gun access when such collaboration is essential to protect public safety, including in cases of domestic violence and drug offenses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has more information in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/montana-governor-signs-bill-to-protect-second-amendment-from-federal-gun-restrictions\">article<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill protecting Montana&#8217;s gun owners from federal laws that negatively impact &hellip; <a title=\"Montana governor signs bill protecting state gun rights against federal restrictions\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=112883\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Montana governor signs bill protecting state gun rights against federal restrictions<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[397],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-second-amendment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=112883"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":112885,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112883\/revisions\/112885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=112883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=112883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=112883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
