It doesn't.How does this affect stuff we already own not made or bought in Indiana?
Hell yeah I like this... Is the concept actually being practiced in the other 8 states and if so is it holding up against Federal pressure?
It's about time the Fed realized powers not granted specifically to it are reserved for the states and the Interstate Commerce Clause is a total joke. SCOTUS used that one to ram ObamaCare down our throats and it's time we spit some of this crap out and right back at them.
Got to get this passed... huntertown arms here I come!!

SCOTUS used the the constitutional power of the Congress to tax as the basis of their opinion, not that of the commerce clause.
Thanks for the correction. And thanks, Chief Justice Roberts. Sleep well.
I'm in. What's the easiest way to write and persuade my state reps?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Also, what are some of you including in your letters? I don't really know how to approach an issue like this.
Dear Assemblyman John Doe:
I am contacting you to enlist your support for Assembly Bill X, the whatever named bill, in which whatever your rationale is for it.
Car Ramrod
How did you know John Doe is my rep?Simple and straight-forward is the best approach.
That helps, thanks.Here is my letter Ramrod, plagiarize as much as you wish :
I am writing to urge you to support SB0130, the Indiana Firearms Freedom Act.
It is clear that leaders in our Federal Government are intent on violating our liberty to self defense. We need to make clear that our State and our people will not give up those liberties under any circumstances.
Since it is abundantly clear that gun control doesn't work, the only other possible purpose is to further enable tyranny.
With a $16T+ debt, growing at $1.5T+ per year, and funded primarily by abuse of our monetary system rather than the open market, it is an unfortunate reality that Hoosiers need to think clearly and proactively about maintaining our liberty now and in the future.
It depends on how the actual Indiana law is written. I do believe Montana excludes machine guns.so techincally speaking, if this gets passed, does that mean private citizens and companies in indiana can start producing machine guns? thats how i read it anyway, "a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Indiana…and remains within the borders of Indiana; is not subject to federal law or federal regulation,..."
or in my mind, Hughes amendment undone
Arguments of being a test case and federal law aside.
Does this mean one could manufacture an SBR on any AR lower since the manufacturing of the SBR would be taking place in Indiana? Or, would they need to build it on an Indiana manufactured lower (i.e. Delaware Machinery)? From my understanding, as per ATF definition, the manufacture of an SBR is creating a new firearm. So I would think the fact that the lower was not forged and machined inside state lines would not matter. The only issue I would see is "(B) without the inclusion of any significant parts imported from another state;". Under this bill, at what point is the rifle considered an SBR? Would it be when you attach the 10.5" upper? If so, would that upper be considered a significant part imported from another state? The lower is the firearm, I would think anything else attached to it is just an accessory.
Also, I saw no listing of prohibited weapons in the bill, other than those that shoot two or more rounds per single pull of the trigger.
