Cain thinks gun control is a states rights issue, huh? In other words he wants to eliminate the Constitution. Some of you guys would vote for such a man?
The states already have the power to regulate firearms. Example...Montana passed laws that NO FED laws can go into that state....this is a good thing. The high court already made a call on this, and the states do have the power to regulate, or NOT regulate.
Mass-a-2-chits on the other hand regulate HEAVY....but the people can change all this if they want to as well...up to them.
There is a double edged sword here...if feds override the states, what if they outlaw guns, then what? The States would have to tell them to get bent, and some would, and some already have.
Brady law was shot down by a couple of states after the feds passed it...states have the power.
Best be careful what you ask for and think it out...if the states had no power, they would not have been able to kick aside the Brady bill....which came from the feds.
I'm for state power....and lots of it...and hardly any fed power myself. Concerning most anything, including guns.
