The Kentucky Firearms Freedom Act is nearly identical to laws already enacted in Montana and Tennessee. If passed, firearms and ammunition manufactured in Kentucky and sold in Kentucky would no longer be regulated in any way by the federal government. There would be no FBI background check and no BATFE Form 4473 paperwork. Kentucky might decide to have the state police run background checks, but there would be no federal authority or involvement over these intrastate sales. The 1934 National Firearms Act and the 1968 Gun Control Act would no longer apply to intrastate sales. By insulating ourselves from federal gun laws, any future federal gun ban such as a reintroduction of a stricter version of the previous Brady Bill would not apply.
The BATFE has already sent a letter to gun dealers in Montana and Tennessee, informing them that the federal laws supersede state laws. They don’t. The federal government’s limited powers were granted by the states, and correcting this abuse of federal power is exactly the purpose of the KFFA. The challenge to the BATFE letter has already been filed in federal court in Montana.
The Kentucky Firearms Freedom Act HB 87 & SB 122 was pre-filed for the 2010 legislative session by Representative Stan Lee and Sen John Schickel, respectively. The KFFA would already apply to two different rifles that are currently manufactured in Kentucky, a DoubleStar AR-15 manufactured in Winchester and a Bluegrass Armory .50 BMG Viper manufactured in Richmond, and if passed there would certainly be more firearms manufacturers that would provide quality firearms free from federal government infringements. We may decide to allow currently regulated and restricted items such as noise suppressors, aka “silencers”, which are considered a courtesy to your neighbors in many countries in Europe. How did our federal government decide we should pay a $200 tax, endure bureaucratic paperwork, and lose our privacy and rights to have a suppressor?
