My opinion is that states (or cities for that matter) can legislate any gun control they want and I think that's the best thing for America ... both because I believe in a small federal government and I believe that's the top principle of the Constitution: To set limits on how much the Federal government can invade state's rights. Therefore my opinion is that the Constitution says that the Federal government should neither be able to limit arms nor prevent their limitation. A president shouldn't sign any such gun legislation simply because like abortion, prostitution, and drugs, that's a state's rights issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:358476 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
