Oklahoma Bars State-Manufactured Weapons from Federal Law
The state of Oklahoma recently passed legislation that protected firearms and ammunition manufactured in the state from federal law. Specifically, the “Firearms Freedom Act” states that any state-manufactured firearm “is not subject to federal law, federal taxation or federal regulation as long as it stays within the state of Oklahoma,” reports KRMG.
The bill’s supporters say the bill was designed to protect the Second Amendment, as well as keep the federal government from overreaching its powers.
