SF101 would strengthen Wyoming's existing Second Amendment Protection Act by prohibiting state and local officials from enforcing certain federal gun-control laws, rules, or executive orders that violate the right to keep and bear arms. The bill would create civil and criminal penalties for officials who knowingly enforce those prohibited federal actions, while also adding certain exceptions.
The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF101 on March 5, 2026 by a vote of 40 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees that the right of the American people "to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Whenever the federal government imposes unconstitutional acts, nullification of such acts, as reserved to the states under Article VI and the 10th Amendment, is the proper remedy.
