I believe we've already slid too far into the hole of an all controlling centralized government. A majority of the VOTING public recently decided they want a federal government that controls virtually every aspect of our lives. I often wonder why we even still have state borders when you consider that the feds trump state law in virtually every situation that matters.
Also, as hoytinak pointed out it's just too easy for the feds to roll in and enforce their law thumbing their noses at state law.
The libertarian in me really hope that Texas could make a case for manufacture of firearms in state work but the realist in me knows it will only be a noise muffled out by the din of the Orwellian centralized government.
