Same stuff from the anti-gun crowd, over and over again.

I can't believe RP actually stated that mere local statutes can over turn State Constitutions and the Fed Con. That it is perfectly legitamate for the Commerce clause to be utterly twisted to give the FedGov essentially unlimited power.

And this jackass has the nerve to call himself a "conservative"?

He's here because he gets a certain amount of support from misguided conservatives who buy into his 'moral majority' agit-prop.

These people are 'true believers' of State control over 'sin'.

Can't read?

"But if the state constitution allows it, and if the state has home rule, then of course a city may ban handguns.

And you really should watch your language, a$$hole.
