Hagedorn, Vick Push Gun Bill
A new version of former Rep. Mark Patterson’s bill to criminalize Idaho police officers if they enforce federal gun laws was introduced in
the Senate State Affairs Committee this morning; last year’s bill passed the House, but died in the Senate. This year’s measure is an emergency bill, sponsored by Sens. Marv Hagedorn, R-Meridian, and Steve Vick, R-Dalton Gardens; it aims civil penalties at the supervisors of officers or public officials who order a police officer to “enforce any executive order, agency order, law, rule or regulation of the United States government” regarding seizure or restriction of guns or ammunition in violation of the Idaho Constitution, with a $1,000 fine for a first offense/

Question: Do you think the bill sponsored by Hagedorn and Vick would pass constitutional muster?
