I was thinking about the possible impending gun control laws. Being that I am not a lawyer, I did see a parallel to the marijuana laws in Colorado and Washington state. Would it be possible for the states to pass laws keeping the right to "assault weapons"? Even if the federal government outlaws them, the state could allow them. Just like marijuana is still illegal federally, but some states allow it. It is that the Feds choose not to "pursue" marijuana busts in legal states. I think this adds an encouraging precedent for firearm enthusiasts.
