I would say yes, no and it is confusing. While the States do regulate and restrict firearms there always seems to be the issue of what rights We the People actually do have in regards to firearms and who decides seems in limbo.
An example would be my State says I can own a EBR or NFA, then the Feds put forth a AWB. So does that mean I can own a EBR only if the Feds say it is legal, or can the States side step that???
Or like when my city banned EBR's and the State told them they couldn't do that because State Law trumped City Law?
So who trumps who?
