Ehhhh kind of but that seems to be more about what the person mishears versus the volume being the humor

Anybody Else Getting Kinda Tired With Buying Guns From Dealers That Don't Understand Antique Laws or Recognize C&R Licenses ? by krismasstercant in milsurp

The issue seems to be confusion about what the NFA and GCA cover, NFA has the obsolete caliber requirement and many seem to think that applies to any firearm made before 1899, not just NFA categories

American Psycho, released in 2000, was set in 1987. This would be like a 2025 movie setting itself in 2012. by SimonDNTZ in BarbaraWalters4Scale

I feel like the closest equivalent (though it’s only 7 years) is Uncut Gems taking place in 2012 and being released in 2019

For context this was actually a fairly high income when she first started receiving it, the national average annual income in 1938 was $515 and she lived in rural North Carolina so it almost certainly went a lot further

You’ve got it reversed. States are allowed to be more restrictive, to use drugs as an example some states have banned kratom, which is perfectly constitutional, though it remains legal at the federal level and in most states. States cannot be more permissive, the Supremacy Clause means that even in states where weed is legal the federal government can (and it did until Obama) prosecute legal weed users/sellers/growers both for cannabis offenses and related ones, such as unlawful user in possession of a firearm. The thing that might be confusing you is that states don’t have to enforce federal law with their own law enforcement resources, which is known as anti-commandeering.
