Last i was aware...federal trumps state if feds want to enforce anything.
Of course, that would mean the feds actually have to do something.

They would love to make an example out of one of us freedom loving Constitutionalist.

10th Amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
So in theory and if you actually believe in the constitution, no. In practice, you're correct. The Federal government all but ignores the 10th Amendment. Their abuse of the Commerce Clause is especially bad. They use that to justify all kinds of overreach.

Thanks for the clarification.

10th Amendment? Didn't FDR get rid of that long ago? Thank God the Constitution is a living, breathing document!
