A sub-thread about "whataboutism" already popped and pretty much demonstrated hypocrisy pretty clearly...

A relevant passage or two:

5. Questions about the law
While I agree that states should not be able to disregard federal law how is what Missouri is doing any different than states that have passed recreational marijuana laws? I realize they are specifically banning police from enforcing federal law in this case but isn't legalizing recreational marijuana at the state level the same thing but done a different way. And yes marijuana should be legalized federally. Just trying understand the difference legally.

8. Maybe so,
but the analogy is correct, if states can ignore immigration laws, marijauana laws, then states can refuse to enforce Fed. firearm laws by not providing any resources to the Feds, like facilities, personnel, etc, they just can't interfere in the enforcement of those laws by the Feds.

9. Especially uncomfortable ones
Although I expect this is a one post wonder, the question is valid.
If a state can invalidate Federal law A, why cannot another state invalidate Federal law B. Or if the first state is sanctioned for interference with Federal law enforcement should the other state be sanctioned?
The specific law is not relevant to the setting of precedent.

13. I agree and I think whataboutisms are usually valid points

16. We are on the same page
Often people will cry whataboutism because they know they can't honestly answer the question without admitting bias and/or hypocrisy.

At least when it comes to the 2A, he does not demonstrate the same rabid lunacy that most of the DUmmies over there.

If you understand the firearms business and understand gun laws the whole thing is absurd.
First the most restrictive laws and regulations are unique to each state.
Second there is no way you could be involved in dealing any quantity of guns without a federal license.
As for the manufacturing part if you decide to be an unlicensed manufacturer the BATF will be on your ass like flies on sugar, specially if you are building machine guns , silencers or other highly regulated items.
