I guess if someone believes in freedom they are in a shithole state. Ok. Gotcha.

state laws can not weaken federal laws, they can supersede federal laws when they are stronger than the fed version.

well, that argument has slowly become shit over the last few years.
Most of the people who claim to believe in freedom and guns making America free have been actively oppressing anyone who disagrees with them, or doesn't blindly support their agenda. They try and succeed and suppressing votes they don't think will go to them. And they tried to forcibly overthrow a legitimate government, because a bunch of professional liars told them the election was bogus. And they brought guns with them. They routinely attempt and succeed to prevent a woman's right to abortion. So no, they don't love freedom. They love guns because guns make them feel powerful. I'd say out of all the 2nd Amendment lovers we have in this country only a tiny portion (like maybe 1 percent) actually understand its historical significance and their duty to use it responsibly.

If you look at it from a national standpoint we may have run out of reasons to support the 2nd Amendment. It was supposed to prevent things exactly like what happened on January 6th. It was military/government agents armed with guns who stopped the traitors, not private citizens with guns.

If we keep up this bullshit we ARE going to lose our right to own weapons.

that only applies to things you DON'T have a constitutional right to.
You do not have a constitutional right to a car. Or to alcohol. Or about a thousand other things.
You do (currently) have a right to own weapons, to get an abortion, to vote, a speedy trial, a jury of your peers, some privacy especially with regards to property and police touching, opening, or seizing your property, and right now a lot of those freedoms are in jeopardy and frankly I don't see enough politicians or private citizens fighting to keep those rights.

Wrong, young man. Supremacy Clause in Constitution. Article VI, section 2.

In Altria Group vs. Good, 555 U.S.70 (2008), about preemption doctrine: “state laws that conflict with federal laws are without effect.”

AZ vs. U.S., 567U.S.387 (2012), Supreme Court upheld federal immigration law preempted state law.

Feds and states can share the same legal spheres, such as levying taxes, but states can’t print their own currency, for example.

They said the same thing for states that refused to enforce civil rights laws, asshole

Freedom? You mean like Texas where you can now carry without a permit but can't buy beer on Sunday? That kind of freedom?

i used to live in TX, you can buy beer on sunday after 12, just not booze
 
I bet they'll have no issue enforcing gun laws on some people and not others.
If they just stopped arresting people, probably not much could have been done but by making it a law, it opens up legal avenues. Wonder if they'll go as far as stopping federal agents enforcing gun laws in the state.

I live in NC, beer after 10AM Sunday, (this used to be noon till a couple of years ago) no bottle of booze. You can get mixed drinks on Sunday.
 
While I do not support the weakening of gun control laws, I did not see the OP crying when many states no longer enforced the criminalization of weed.

In my opinion weed is harmful to everyone. I was in Walmart the other day and half the automated kiosks were broken because the working ones took cash only and most people do not carry cash. They few human cashiers they had left were busy trying to ring people out. When I was near checkout myself I was stuck behind a couple who were stoned silly and could barely function.

After 20 mins of waiting on their antics of changing their mind about buying, not buying, buying then not buying and constantly asking basic questions all while laughing I finally had to leave. Everyone behind me was furious.

Yeah, lets legalize weed nationwide. What could possibly go wrong?

And again, since you didnt see it the first time:
You do not have a constitutional right to alcohol.

The Constitution wasn't meant as a delineation of rights.

We also don't have a "constitutional right" to computers or shag carpeting.

The point, you missed it completely.

If a state decides to take away something NOT federally protected they can do that. Homer was saying its not freedom that you cant buy beer on Sunday. I say thats tough toboggans.
If we wants to march on the capitol and ask for the right to buy beer on Sunday, he's free to do that.

When did not enforcing a federal law, become invalidation of that federal law? Also, did you pass your Civics courses in high school? Because you seem to not understand who is responsible for enforcing state level laws, vs federal laws. (guess what, in all 50 states, weed can still be prosecuted at the federal level, including those states that have legalized weed at the state level, it's up to the federal authorities to enforce it).

Besides, your example really has nothing to do with weed, and has everything to do with how indecisive we humans are when it comes to food, and how much people lack patience due to their own selfishness (that would be you). Maybe you should go smoke some weed so you can relax and not be such a selfish, impatient prick. Or maybe crack open another ice cold beer since you think weed is harmful to everyone.

I have a more tit for tat idea.

Since Guv'nuh Cancel Culture wants to cancel Federal laws, I propse the Feds cancel all support of Misery State and local police. That means no more support from FBI for crime scene work, no access to NCIC or AFIS (Fingerprinting), no service from BATF on explosives, no DHS support, no aid from the US Marshal Service for fugitive recovery or transportation and so on.

While we're at it, cut off ALL sources of federal funds...highways, ATC, everything that doesn't go directly to the people, such as food stamps, WIC, and aid to families with children.
