He didn’t “support” it in the sense of advocating for it...

That's the point I was trying to make.

It sounds like he is saying federalism includes allowing states to pass laws barring gun owners from carrying weapons.

As the law stands now, it does.

Yes, there are laws now which state this. The strong 2nd-amendment supporters think those laws are unconstitutional. Are they? I guess we’ll find out if the SC takes the DC case, where the appeals court found the DC law was unconstitutional.

I think if the state trusts someone to grant them a concealed carry permit, they shouldn’t then say those same people are not to be trusted if they are hanging around a large group of students.

If the guns are a danger to the students, why aren’t they a danger to me in a movie theater, or at the park, or in a shopping mall?

What is so special about schools that people who otherwise are trusted to carry guns can’t be trusted in schools?
