The ratifying debates of the original states bear this fact out. Too many of you take what you hear for gospel and believe the SCOTUS has the final say. It doesn't. It only has jurisdiction on those powers enumerated.

SCOTUS has the final say. It's been that way since the Marbury v Madison case in the very early 1800's I believe.

In addition SCOTUS and Congress have essentially ignored the 10th and mostly ignored the 9th since the Republic's beginning when the Constitution was ratified and even more so since the end of the Civil War.

Dutch - though you are technically correct, for all practical matters, if federal law and state law conflict then federal law is the law until SCOTUS rules otherwise.

Wanna be the test case if OK passes a FPA? Great; I know you'll take comfort in knowing you were technically correct while sitting in a federal prison having been convicted in a federal court of violating federal gun laws though you might be wondering at the time why Oklahoma didn't protect you under the state's proposed Firearms Protection Act.
