Here ^-

subject to their own state constitutions,

here ^- It had nothing to do with states restricting fire arms. That is why i said it was off track. But, given enough time, will they ... the ( feds ) resort to the same sort of tactics they use now. if they want independent states to comply with their terms in the future. Meanning at some point, they could use these tactics to control fire arms using money as an incentive. They always find a way to force compliance. And citizens lose rights.

A case in point but off the track a little. small town n.j., it's a best kept secret. keeps it quant and small. no one knows where it is. the folks like it that way. i can't say as i blame them. i wish i knew where it is. it dosen't look like it belongs here. all of a sudden. unka sam thinks it's time for improvments. so! the town is being forced to widen there roads. to be brought up to date, and every thing is nice & legal. as far as unka sam thinks. what about what the town folk think, or n.j. as a state? they had no say so in this matter atall. is this extortion, or overbearing federal bullying? & how do you fight city hall & win? seems like the constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on any more. espeascialy in Wash..
