To me, the idea of having the states fall in line with federal guidelines, kinda contradicts the idea that the federal government is over stepping their roles, and should relinquish more power to the states. Is it me, or does this go against that philosophy?
I look at it as an issue of "can state law trump the Constitution?"To me, the idea of having the states fall in line with federal guidelines, kinda contradicts the idea that the federal government is over stepping their roles, and should relinquish more power to the states.

I hereby announce a personal embargo on the state of New Jersey and all goods originating from it.

Christie has a chance to shine by showing leadership on this and stepping up. Question is, is he sharp enough to realize the opportunity.

That knife, unfortunately, cuts both ways. As much as a federal law can restrict guns rights among the several states, it seems it could also, in theory at least, undo contradictory laws in places like NJ, NY, CA, etc. In fact I think a constitutional case could be made that since the 2A prohibits federal law from infringing the right to keep and bear arms, a federal law that enhances citizens' rights to keep and bear arms should clearly be constitutional. But we live in an age where right is wrong and left is right and nothing can be counted on any longer. Federal judges make law now and everyone goes along even though making law is reserved exclusively to Congress. Now we even see the President making up his own laws and Congress goes along with it. It's a free-for-all that has the potential to bring about chaos, at least legal chaos. But perhaps that is exactly what some want to happen so they can spring their plan to grab power. How many here would be surprised at a "manufactured" crisis before Obama leaves office "forces" him to declare a state of emergency and martial law? With this President I don't think ANYTHING is beneath him. And that's a very frightening prospect indeed!

He loves it.When I read this story the first thought I had was about Christie's leadership. Where does he stand on gun control?
