Really? The prefatory clause removes all doubt when it explains the purpose of the operative clause. Anything available to the government (of, by, and for the people) is to be available to the people. Else a free state cannot be secured.

See..now that's an argument that could fly. The problem is...and think about this one... that argument would do gun owners more harm than it would good.
Would you agree? |
No. Even if it would, it's still the law. It's our civic duty to uphold the law even when we don't feel it benefits us personally.

A federal Constitutional amendment holds supremacy over a federal bill. Therefore, an act of a state in defiance of a federal bill that violates a federal Constitutional amendment does not violate the Supremacy Clause.

It does when the state decides to interpret the Constitution in whatever manner it pleases, and that interpretation in in direct conflict with federal interpretation. |
The only legal way to "re-interpret" an amendment is to ratify it. The states and the people have the duty to defy anything short of that.
