Default Re: Supreme Court to Overturn DC Gun Ban once and for all

Should the federal government be able to tell a state (or in this case DC) that it can't ban guns?

Yes, the federal government should be able to intervene anytime the Constitution is being trampled on. What if a state decided to disregard the 13th?

I'm sure most (reasonable people, not ACists) would agree that if, for example, Tennessee decided to round up all black people and enslave them tomorrow, the federal government should get involved.

They can't because the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments all specifically apply to the states.
