Reply to comment by AdHistorical7107 in here's a question regarding gun control by AdHistorical7107

It’s not always straightforward. I don’t think there is a federal law against a state registry. But I think there is about the privacy of it. It’s been a long time since I looked at it. And there was an absolute meltdown over talk of the federal gov establishing a database, one stop shop owners thought would be easily abused. They don’t think it’s the government’s business they happen to own 47 guns, etc

Your thinking of the Supremacy Clause?

Not a legal expert. But I think it was called "precedence". If that's the same thing as supremacy clause, than yes.
