U-S Senator Mike Enzi says he will continue to oppose new federal gun laws

. He says current gun laws go unenforced and that proposed legislation infringes on the public’s second amendment rights. 

Enzi answered questions about the gun bills from Wyoming citizens in a recorded statement.  He says gun rights are cherished in Wyoming…but he shares some concerns about the recent gun deaths of children.                   

Senator Mike Enzi is part of an effort to allow states to collect sales taxes from out of state on-line merchants.  The Wyoming Administrator of the Excise Tax Division Dan Noble says the state supports this.  Noble says some companies voluntarily collect the tax, but many do not.

“But there are a lot of vendors that do not have a physical presence in the state that are not collecting our tax and I think one of the biggest ones is Amazon.”

He says changing that would put Wyoming merchants on a level playing field with out of state businesses. 

Wyoming Republican Sens. Mike Enzi and John Barrasso are disappointed after a failed attempt to block the Environmental Protection Agency from setting the first federal standards to reduce toxic air pollution from power plants.   

The Democrat-controlled Senate defeated the Republican effort today/Wednesday to overturn a regulation to slash mercury and other toxic emissions from the oldest and most polluting oil- and coal-fired power plants in the country.
