With Democrats controlling the presidency and Congress, Republican state lawmakers concerned about the possibility of new federal gun control laws aren’t waiting to react

thats the thing....if you're going to nullify and ignore federal drug and immigration laws, why not gun laws?

State Governments are our only hope now.

Yep.

In a country as diverse and divided as ours, Federalism is what we should strive.

If Vermont wants a Medicare for all program, awesome

If Texas wants guns for all, superb

So did our Founding Fathers, which is why they would be appalled at how involved the FedGov is in the individual's life.

And they knew the federal government would have to be kept in check. Thus the Bill of Rights with its Preamble explaining exactly WHY it's needed.

What are issues that should be returned to the states versus ones the feds need to have for natural environmental policy.

One potential downside of a return to federalism would be a state like California having an even bigger finger on the country's environmental policy. Also what about immigration. Once your in the country you can pretty much go to any state?

Issues like abortion, drugs, guns, religion, Healthcare mandates, and welfare programs are much better off being left to the states

Pushing good law enforcement out is the goal, see: Germany's Brownshirts.
