Oh yes, and while conservatives claim to hate the centralization of power, this law wipes out a series of local gun regulations. The gun supremacists just don’t trust those pesky local elected officials.


That’s so backwards...lol.

First, and Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights, is to deny power to the state...because they didn’t trust ANY of those officials, including local ones.

Second, this “centralization of power”, proscribes powers over individuals - which is the opposite of centralizing it.

it means that at some point, they envision violently coercing you.
