"A personal firearm, a firearm action or receiver, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in the state to be used or sold within the state is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of congress to regulate interstate commerce."
Montana recently did something similar, and there's one or two other states that are flipping the feds the bird as well, but on other issues (I don't recall what they are at the moment).
It's about time that people started recognizing that each state is an independent entity, and that the federal government's role is not to usurp their authority on any little thing they want.
I was taken aback with this sentence from the article:
"Ironically, the legislation also toughens state gun laws: it bans convicted felons, mental patients and people younger than 21 from being able to buy Wyoming-made firearms."
Wyoming didn't already prohibit convicted felons and mental patients from buying firearms? And they'll still be able to, only not the ones made in Wyoming? Yikes.

Because most of these regulations have been at the federal level and checks conducted through the federal NICS system, there has been largely no reason for states to write such legislation.
Wyoming is simply closing any loophole that may have been unintentionally opened by their new state law. Why the over-reaction? Go look outside, the sky is not falling.
