Alaska Firearms Freedom Act

[ffr1910]

Has anyone heard of this? I read about it on another board and wanted to bring it here. Supposedly it will allow Alaskans to build their own fully auto matic weapons, as long as they stay within the state lines. The reading I have done cites the BATF regulation as covering interstate commerce and not intrastate. If this is true and moves ahead it would be nice to have such regulation here, unless I am missing a bigger part of the picture.

Where does it say about full autos? All I'm seeing is a summary of the bill but not the actual bill.

I wish they would lift up the import restriction. Hell they could bail out some of the economy by charging an import tax.

the full auto prt is what the folks at the other forum were discussing, I havent read anything specific about it, just wanted to bring the topic to this forum as it seemed newsworthy. I will look deeper in to it as I have more time but thought someone with the time right now might want to know about it.

Oh ok. Montana passed pretty much the exact same thing and it was just signed the by the Governor but it specifically excepted full autos.

The bill doesnt mention full auto in specific but it says that alaskans will be responsible for govering their own firearms laws within their borders. This leads the way to producing full autos in AK for use within the borders only, if the bill is signed to law. this is atleast the way i read it.

I sure wish TN had the testicular fortitude to get something like this passed. I know there's one in the process but I don't see it going anywhere, especially since we are fighting tooth and nail to get a few smaller firearms bills passed through.
