I see. So if Congress passes a constitutional federal law, and the law survives numerous court challenges all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, then the citizens of the states must also comply, correct?
IF, big if, it is constitutional. Our courts make many mistakes, and the other branches of both State & Fed governments are supposed to check & balance the judicial. -- As do juries.
And if a state official, pledged to support the US Constitution, attempts to pass state legislation contrary to federal law, why, that would be treason, would it not? Well then, you and I are in agreement.
Not really. You still advocate a States 'right' to prohibit guns, or most anything else.
Moral majority rule is not the american way, paulsen.
I'm not an advocate. I simply said the state has the power to regulate/prohibit guns PROVIDED it wasn't against the state constitution. I stand by that.
"Moral majority rule is not the american way, paulsen."
No it is not. We live in a representative republic whereby our constitutionally elected representatives write the rules. Most of these "rules" have a basis in morality.
