Massachusetts is imposing Massachusetts income taxes on New Hampshire residents when they neither reside nor “work” in Massachusetts. It seems intuitively obvious Massachusetts is overreaching. But Massachusetts downplays the seriousness of New Hampshire’s claim in three ways.

Louisiana Follows Kansas On Federal Gun Law Nullification
Last month Kansas–those radical flatlanders–passed a bill that nullified a wide range of federal gun laws for weapons manufactured and sold within the state’s borders. Holder and the gun ninnies were naturally put off by this. (Feds no like when u nullify their unconstitutional power grabs.)
The Missouri House has also passed legislation to send a message to its governor that “…rejects all federal acts that infringe on a Missouri citizens’ rights under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

Simply stated, this bill exempts firearms, accessories and/or ammunition manufactured in New Hampshire, and remains in New Hampshire, from Federal Regulation under the National Firearms Act.
Similar to New Hampshire’s pending legislation, Eight other States (Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Tennessee, and Alaska) have already passed a Firearms Freedoms Acts bill and twenty-one other states currently have active and pending legislation. Three states are proactively crafting FFA legislation.
The New Hampshire version of the Firearms Freedom Act allows Granite-Staters to assume responsibility on a limited basis, the self-regulation as well as some freedom from the overly burdensome yolk of bureaucratic and restrictive federal firearms regulations.
