ummm.....or the Feds could make a law that effects all states and bypass the state law.

FYI: The U.S. Constitution, it does not work that way.

It says

(1)   Any federal law, rule, regulation, or order created on or after January 1, 2013, including any amendment or other change made after January 1, 2013, to a preexisting federal law, rule, regulation, or order, shall be unenforceable within the borders of Kentucky if the law, rule, regulation, order, amendment, or other change attempts to:
   (a)Ban or restrict ownership of a semi-automatic firearm, magazine, or other firearm accessory; or
   (b)Require any firearm, magazine, or other firearm accessory to be registered in any manner.

So what, they can't restrict the guns at all? Wouldn't any federal level stuff trump the state law? I don't think a state law can declare federal laws unconstitutional. If I understand correctly, this is pointless.

Yup! That's because it is in the Constitution that the Federal government can trump all state laws.

Case in point. Weed is legal in Colorado, its illegal at the Federal level, so you can still get arrested and tried in a federal court.

But man, you gotta love Kentucky Right Kwuartz!
