President Washington, in his first message to the first Congress in 1789 counseled: “A free people should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent on others for essential, particularly military supplies.”
It would be good for the “free and independent States” to have State firearms law that DECLARED every firearm manufactured, sold, possessed and carried in their State were not subject to Federal Laws for which there is NO “delegated powers” pursuant to Article I, Section 8.15-16, the 2nd and the 10th Articles of the Bill of Rights.
Great post, thanks for picking up on this. You’ve reminded me that one of Davy Crockett’s rifles is on display at the East Tennessee Historical Society Museum and I am posting on it and proposing the Tennessee adopt it as the “official state firearm.”

Well then, if a state firearm “sends the wrong message to the children” quit providing them to our employees at taxpayer expense.
Good choice, chris, especially since it’s manufactured in the geographical center of the State.
But if the CFR globalists who pervade the levers of bi-partisan federal power have their way, the Barrett would be made in Mexico…or China.

Thanks for the link, Uncle.
Thanks Shootin’ Buddy.
I can only imagine the exploding heads if someone managed to introduce a bill to name the Gatling Gun as the NC State Gun.

“I can only imagine the exploding heads if someone managed to introduce a bill to name the Gatling Gun as the NC State Gun.”
Hmmm, perhaps that is more fitting to Indiana.
Or, perhaps North Carolina and Indiana should share the state gun as we share the state bird?

Ain’t no harm in agreeing on the same firearm.
