I've heard somewhere that a state constitution trumps ALL federal laws due to the states rights clause part of the federal constitution. So theoretically if Iowa passed a state constitution provision stating that:
"Adult citizens have the right to purchase, keep, carry, and bear; firearms, ammunition, and accessories, regardless of type, functionality, or use."
That federal law COULD NOT override it. Is that true? If so, we might want to also try fighting gun control at the state level starting with the pro- 2nd ammendment states.
