The states have the right to pass any law which restricts rights, provided it does not restrict a right that is spelled out in the U.S. Constitution bill of rights.

Eventually, some state will push gun control or some other form of control to far and the Supreme court will be forced to rule on the issue. It's happened before.

A curious paradox of a conservative Supreme Court, is the strong tendency to not reverse the decisions of state supreme courts. Conservatives believe in state rights.

Out of curiosity, where in the Consitution does it say that the Bill of Rights applies to states?
