My friendly debate at PointOfLaw.com with Prof. Michael Krauss of George Mason University on federalism and the gun pre-emption bill has now gone through two rounds and has attracted notice from Ramesh Ponnuru at National Review Online and from Jacob Sullum and Nick Gillespie at Reason “Hit and Run”.
