Actually, technically plainly speaking, the federal government has zero rights to be involved with a states rights issue. Health care is not a federal mandated area to begin with and never was. There needs to be a hard push with the 10th amendment on this and other issues but again the people can't spell Constitution let alone know what it is.

The Fed as made it clear that they don't care about the 10th...while this is about the states gun rights, it still points out that the Fed expects states to give up their rights and they are making sure that gun dealers (in this instance) are instructed to ignore the state laws...gun laws today...any other issue barry chooses next...
