Maybe a knowledgable 10th Amendment supporter can explain why the 10th Amendment doesn’t apply to the States on the issue of gun “control”.

That argument raged on FR a while back. Some argue for full restoration of 10th, the other group argued that the 14th gave the right back to the people.

In the end it doesn’t matter, it only matters what laws they choose to enforce and what they choose to ignore.

“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”

I see, I see. Seems common-sensical. The Bill-of-Rights is the Bill-of Rights no matter where you are in the Union.

So then, how can States vote to nullify/not implement obamacare since Justice Roberts ruled the law is a constitutional tax? Aren’t the States obligated to provide equal protection of the laws?

Unfortunatly, you are correct, our government enforces what they like and ignores what they dont. Precious few of our politicians even give a crap about this Constitution stuff.
