This seems strange to me. I know many people say,give power back to the states, but can't you just whittle the number of laws down to a point where just a handful exist and apply everywhere? I don't quite get why each state gets it's own criminal laws. Murder in Texas is the same as murder in New York, right?
Then there are economic things. Prohibiting the sale of certain things like guns, alcohol, pornography etc in certain states vs others. That seems pretty shady. I think if a guy wants to sell alcohol in Salt Lake City or sell handguns in Illinois then go nuts. Sure those markets might be terrible for it, but that's the sellers decision, right?
Can anyone provide an example of a law that should be left to a state versus a nation wide applicable law? I feel like if it doesn't apply equally to everyone in the country then it probably shouldn't be a law at all.
