If my neighbors can all pack heat on my street, I have much less to worry about from would-be robbers.

...with the NRA bluntly arguing that “states don’t have rights.”

1) I'd like to see that whole quote, in context, thank you.

2) These days, that's not an inaccurate statement.

Funny he didn’t mention the THOUSANDS on INNOCENT PEOPLE GUNNED DOWN by LAS VEGAS POLICE. If abusing Alcohol is grounds to have your RIGHT to possess a gun revoked, How in the Hell does ANY COP IN VEGAS HAVE A GUN?? Wouldn’t it be a better IDEa to just make it a FELONY for ANY PERSON to consume any MOOD ALTERING or Performance enhancing substance while in Possession of a Firearm, but that would Put every last COP and JUDGE in PRISON, which is where most of them belong. .

How dare Washington enforce Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly, Freedom to Worship over Nevada’s laws!

Oh, sorry. That was the 1st Amendment. We’re only talking about the 2nd Amendment. It’s okay to ignore the Constitution.

Just ignoring which part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is Nevada supposed to be able to get away with?

I suppose the Constitution is trumped by state law??

What's the problem? This is presidential candidate Herman Cain's position. 2nd amendment is a states rights issue

This is the gun lobby’s excuse for federal intrusion into Nevada’s decision to require basic safety training and prohibit gun carrying by alcohol abusers and many violent criminals.

I guess this means violent criminals can legally carry in other states?

It always irritates me when I hear the left refer to the Second Amendment as “the gun lobby.”

"Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding", "shall not be infringed".

Dang it I hate when people gloss over something so simple.
