Herman Cain thinks the 2nd Amendment is a states rights issue.

Yeah that bothers me too, but not nearly so much as a POTUS that is antigun and looking to spread federalized gun control. I don't mind so much that he considers it a state issue, since at the state level, many states seem to be moving forward towards more freedom in this area. I read today, New Hampshire seems to be edging towards "Constitutional" carry with no permit required. So that's pretty good. As long as more states complete reciprocity with other states, that's the best solution over a federal reciprocity law. Federal reciprocity would be stalled by the inevitable lawsuits from the antis and using the 10th Amendment against us.

Yeah but it's a Bill of Right. It's not a states issue, it's a right guaranteed by the Constitution.Freedom of Speech, Religion and Assembly is not a States Rights issue. Cain is ignorant of this stuff and to be honest he says what he needs to get his numbers up. He has no compass on this stuff.
