A couple weeks ago I wrote about Wyoming toying with the idea of nullification. Well, today members of the state House of Representatives passed legislation that would nullify any new federal law passed in an effort to reduce gun violence. They dove straight in and didn't listen to me.
It is worth it to point out that no federal law has been passed, much less introduced as a bill yet, but that didn't stop them from voting on their bill. State Rep. Kendell Kroeker (R) said this is the reason the bill is not unconstitutional. It's nice to see that someone out there is recognizing what they're doing.
The heavily Republican controlled state Senate will likely pass the bill as well. It will be interesting to see what the federal government does in response to this should any new law pass.
