CHEYENNE -- The state of Wyoming says the federal agency that enforces gun laws was wrong to reject a state law that seeks to allow people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence charges to regain their firearms rights in the state courts.

Wyoming this week filed its opening brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver challenging a ruling this May by U.S. District Judge Alan Johnson of Cheyenne.

Who is better to make such decisions?

The Federal Government or the local authorities?

Seems to me our Founding Fathers had it right all along when they created a system which distributed power among the people.
