AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.5
If local governments had retained more authority over regulating firearms instead of federal preemption, how could this potentially affect current nationwide consistency in gun laws?
Small towns with low populations would automatically ban guns altogether out of safety concerns.
There might be greater disparities in regulation between different regions or states due to varying local priorities and cultures regarding firearms.
All states would follow a uniform standard set by the federal government for governing firearms ownership and usage.
There would be no regulation of firearms whatsoever due to lack of federal oversight.
