Maryland has some of the tightest gun control laws in the country but Baltimore is the murder capital of the USA. Wonder why? well, for starters, hardly anyone has guns but the criminals.

And about Bush and his stance for the continued ban: As mucn as I like Bush, he's a politician, and part of the governing elite, which includes folks of both main parties. And those folks have a hard time trusting us ordinary motals. They know we have rights, but don't want us to have them. They know we have a right to bear arms, but they are afraid of us. All of us. The government, any government is NOT our friend. Oh sure, we pretend it is, and vote, and root for our favorite guy, but governments can't be trusted. That's why our founding fathers enumerated our God given rights. And that's why politicians have tried to strip us of those rights ever since.

Why can a state pass a law tougher then federal law?

The states that have tried to pass laws making use of marijuana legal for things have had these laws stopped by the federal government. The federal government said the states could not do this because the federal law is marijuana is illegal to have.

So if a state cannot pass a law lesser then federal law. Why can a state pass laws making something illegal such as some guns? When the federal government states these guns are legal to own. Should not the same be true? Shouldn't the federal government be stepping in telling these states that have passed gun control laws banning some guns they cannot do this? After all the federal government states these gun are legal. If a state cannot pass a law saying something is legal that the federal government has declared illegal. Should not it work the other way?
