Re Scotus and States Rights, you said: like a states right to make its own laws on the death penalty??

No, more like a state's right to interfere with the 2nd Amendment.

Huh? There's a joke in there somewhere, right?

I fear that the erosion of the 9th & 10th Amendments will continue, just like it did in the death penalty case hadned down to us by the SCOTUS recently. The President, most members of Congress, & the Supreme Court are hell-bent on concentrating power into Washington & away from the state capitols. Our Constitution is nothing but a piece of paper that is completely ignored, shunned, & laughed at these days.
