Arizona and other states are fighting to enact gun laws and reject federal restrictions. President Obama's stance of actively promoting nationwide gun restrictions does not seem to have the support of local governments. More and more states have stated that if Congress enacts strict gun control laws, these states will not allow the federal government to interfere with their state's gun laws. Already 21 states plan to follow the example of eight states that have successfully enacted legislation in recent years, which stipulates that guns manufactured in the state will not be subject to federal law as long as they do not cross state borders. In addition to Arizona, states with state gun laws include Alaska, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming. Montana’s arms freedom law passed in 2009 was the result of a push by the state Shooting Sports Association and has been copied by many states. But gun laws in eight states have yet to be implemented amid judicial challenges, pending a ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Mabut, president of the Montgomery Shooting Association, believes that according to the provisions of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, as long as the Constitution does not grant the federal government the power to exercise or prohibit the states from exercising it, it should be exercised by the states and the people. But Mabut emphasized: "Public people should not take unauthorized actions based on state gun laws until there is a ruling by the circuit court." He said other states are also waiting for the court's ruling. However, a lawyer for the federal government pointed out during a hearing on the gun law in Montana in 2010 that the provisions of Congress's power to regulate trade among states gave the federal government the power to manage guns nationwide. He believed that it was unrealistic for guns in Montana not to leave the state's borders. Lawyers say allowing Montgomery's gun laws to exist is a major loophole in federal gun control. Mabut believes that the federal government is taking advantage of the Constitution's provisions on state trade provisions. "The people do not want to see the tyrannical behavior of the federal government's arbitrary intervention." South Carolina Republican Senator Bright followed the example of Montana's gun laws and introduced his state's arms freedom law for the third consecutive year last month, and believes that there is a high chance of passing it because Washington will enact stricter gun laws.
