I like these laws and agree with them.

Unfortunately it is settled law that Federal laws prevail when there is conflict. I don’t agree with that idea and think it goes against the Constitution but unfortunately that is the way it is.

But these laws are written specifically to avoid the conflict. No commerce provisions apply. These firearms are manufactured, sold and used within the state and only be state citizens.

Where's the conflict? Commerce clause doesn't obtain, the commerce is all intrastate.

Bad attitude. It was decided wrong by people without the authority to so decide. That's only the "way it is" till someone decides that's the way it ISN'T.

“Unfortunately it is settled law that Federal laws prevail when there is conflict. “

That’s what the British said in 1775. How many divisions does king obuma have to place on the battlefield? Let’s see:

1) The fat welfare mommas battalion.

2) The bed-wetting college kids brigade

3) The 50 IQ ghetto rappers expeditionary force who can’t hold a glock straight

Sounds invulnerable and then some.

Than I think that individual states need to declare that portion of Federal law to be null & void. There is nothing that makes Federal laws superior or filled with ultimate superior wisdom. History is filled with examples of laws that resulted in murder, rape & genocide of its' own people. As in Hitler's Germany when they passed laws that ordered Jewish businesses & people to sew the Star of David on their clothing & to identify their businesses as Jewish owned businesses. In our country, our USSC upheld the arrest & conviction of Dred Scott. So there is nothing inherently wise or superior in a Fed court ruling. In fact I wish the state would then tell the Fed judge ruling in this case to go STFU-- and dare the Fed to something about it.

The commerce clause controls what goes on between states, ie; tariff or taxes to travel through or sell within...The state is stateing the commerce clause does not apply, because firearms and muntions are produced within the state and not cross states...the owners are within the state and the commerce clause has no bite.

With exceptions for euthanasia and illegal pot.
