Bill 'exempts' Alaska from federal gun regulation

That's nice. The Constitution of the United States exempts Texas from federal gun regulation as well.

“That’s nice. The Constitution of the United States exempts Texas from federal gun regulation as well.”

I think you’ll be seeing Texas exempt from the remainder of the Constitution (at least how it’s interpreted in DC) pretty soon.

The Constitution exempts ALL states from federal gun regulations, but that has not stopped the federal government from ignoring that old, outdated Constitution “thingy”!

This will come down to the same reasons for the Civil War - federal government encroaching on individual’s and state’s rights! I pray that it does not come to this, but it is really where we are! The “people” are tired of the government saying this is what you can drive (taxing oil out of business, forcing companies to build crap cars), this is what you can eat (over taxing fast food) - when and where does this stupidity stop?
