Local officials -- not Congress -- are the best arbiters of their community's needs and priorities.
Where was the
Post's outrage when Congress overrode states and communities who had considered
and rejected the "assault weapon" bait-and-switch in the early 1990's?
The
Post seems to be of the opinion that it's OK for Congress to overrule the elected state and local representatives of the people,
as long as they're not doing so to enforce a Supreme Court decision they don't agree with.
FWIW, there was a lot of this type of crap after the Supreme Court struck down segregation laws, too. Lots of southern states tried to pass Fenty-like laws to "get around" the USSC nullification of state Jim Crow regulations, and guess what?
Congress slapped them down with civil rights legislation.
