Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: I have a question you guys can answer [View all]hack89
(39,171 posts)105. You are the one saying Federal law trumps state law
The question you refuse to answer is whether the Federal government can overwrite state gun control law. If you really believe federal law trumps state law then the answer is yes. I don't think you really believe that.
I mentioned DOMA as an example of a federal law that trumps state law - and also an example of a bad law passed by Congress. A federal law negating CTs new gun control laws would also be a bad law - but perfectly legal according to you.
