Ain’t no “Congress” in the Second, hair-splitter.

So your state could ban all guns, reinstate slavery, declare Zoroastrianism the official religion, order the people to submit to a police search every other Thursday, and because the US Constitution only applies to the Feds you’d have to go along? Well, no, and hell no, because

“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof...shall be the supreme Law of the Land...any Thing in the Constitution and Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

And if you see smoke and flame in a crowded theater, and you’re reasonably certain it isn’t in the script of the play, you damned well better shoult “fire!”
