None of the those gun control laws existed prior to those States joining the Union. Part of being IN the Union is respecting the powers of the centralized authority. This wasn't as bad as it sounds now because at the time the majority of the State legislatures signed onton the US Constitution, the FedGov was tiny and extremely limited in scope.
Now of course, everything is a power grab free-for-all because "We the People" are squeemish about applying Rule .308.
That's because Rule .308 is too verbose and not many people understand it. I think Rule .45 is something we all can work with.
