Kurt has it right about state power, not state "rights". States do not have "rights". States have powers; people have rights.

Even if it passes, it will NEVER be brought up for a vote in the Senate, never.

Eh, Handgun Control inc. , may have a point, as much as I do not enjoy saying that, a State should be able to organize their affairs as they see fit.

Then again, the same people who hypocritically advocate for State Sovereignty on this issue, have no problem tossing that overboard when the issue is something they support.

"States have powers; people have rights."

I think that you will find, on examination, that the people have both rights AND powers (...reserved to the states respectively, or to the people...). The innate powers of the people aren't mentioned much these days, and have been much usurped by all levels of government, but the individual citizen absolutely has legal powers under law (to make arrests, as one example).

SSDD. Typical liberal hypocrisy -- when the law's on their side, they're all for it, and when it's not, they want it tossed out the window.

“assault clips,”

They should rename to Ignorance Incorporated. Its bad enough ‘hicap magazines’ is still being used...they’re regular capacity. Its the Clinton 10rd mags that should get the nickname.
