… in many states.




The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

It's very simple:  Some things, indeed most things, are not the lawful business of the Federal Government.

“There oughtta be a law!”

No, there ought NOT to be.  That's called “Liberty,” and that's what America was once all about.  “Don't Tread on Me” - remember?




It's not easy for some people to mind their own business, but the right to be let alone is what made America work.

I hope that helps your understanding.
