Actually they are not absent except in much older scifi. For a great example check out the HONOR HERRINGTON series by David Weber. Many of the characters are described as very dark or mahogany skinned. In most scifi literature skin color is just ignored and most characters have no physical description.

Read Artical 1 of the constitution. Federal law is the supreme law of the land. So all amendments are automatically incorporated and apply to the states. Also read tenth amendment states are not allowed to touch anything already covered by the Fed. Federal law has laws on both free speech and firearms. So the states need to keep their winning hands off them.
