[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2221712"] I just spent about 90 minutes reading about how the suprememcy clause has been used and abused in the past. It isn't nearly as cut and dry as saying that federal law supersedes state law. It is the ultimate grey area and the source of endless debate. There seems to be no scholarly or legal consensus of where it places authority. It just depends on who is sitting on the Supreme Court when a matter makes it to them where this is the central argument. Dozens of cases have gone both ways. It has definitely been used in the past to attack what should have been clearly protected by the 10th. One interesting article I read claims that the original language was only in place because some states where literally violating US treaties at the time, and they wrote it to stop states from acting essentially as their own countries and interacting with foreign entities in opposition to the deals made by what we now call the "federal government". Of course, nothing in the constitution allows for the creation of agencies like the ATF, or their ability to enforce felonies on people for using a device with a 35db sound reduction. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.. [/QUOTE]
