Wyoming’s Senate just dropped a bombshell with the passage of the Second Amendment Protection Act (SAPA), a bold legislative flex that directly challenges the ATF’s overreach on pistol braces, forced reset triggers, and other banned accessories. This isn’t some milquetoast resolution—it’s a full-throated declaration of state sovereignty, echoing the spirit of the 10th Amendment by instructing Wyoming officials to ignore federal edicts that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. Passed on a party-line vote, SAPA builds on the state’s already ironclad pro-2A fortress, where constitutional carry reigns and suppressors flow freely. But the real intrigue? It heads to the House next, then Governor Mark Gordon’s desk—a man who’s vetoed similar bills before, citing federal supremacy concerns.

Digging deeper, this move slots perfectly into the escalating state-federal showdowns post-Bruen. Think Missouri’s Second Amendment Preservation Act, which survived initial court scrutiny despite Biden’s DOJ howling about nullification. Wyoming’s SAPA smartly frames its defiance around Bruen’s text-history-and-tradition test, arguing that modern accessories like braces aren’t arms the Founders would’ve blinked at banning. Critics will scream Commerce Clause, but proponents counter with New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen’s smackdown of interest-balancing, plus the Supreme Court’s Rahimi clarification that doesn’t greenlight ATF rulemaking by fiat. If it becomes law, expect a federal lawsuit faster than a suppressed .22 round—likely testing whether states can wield nullification-lite tools without SCOTUS intervention.

For the 2A community, this is rocket fuel: a blueprint for red states to starve the feds of enforcement resources, buying time for national reciprocity or ATF defunding. If Wyoming holds the line, it could cascade—imagine Texas or Florida piling on, creating a patchwork where Biden’s gun grabs wither on the vine. Survival odds? High in the House, dicey with Gordon, but legally resilient if it mirrors upheld models. 2A warriors, rally your state reps—this is how we win the long game. Stay vigilant; the Senate’s green light is just round one.
