I usually don't get involved in all the gun stuff, but this time, I have to say that I'm proud to be a Kentuckian!
At least in the part of Kentucky that I'm in, there are not very many people who oppose gun rights and probably wouldn't admit to it if they did.
The Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2) of the United States Constitution declares that federal laws are the "supreme Law of the Land." Hence, state court laws are inferior so long as the federal law is valid (constitutional).

Feds don't respect state law as proven with prop 215 in Cali. If it is federally illegal then the feds will still enforce the law in a state, even if it's legal by state law.

When state and federal laws conflict Why does federal law supersede state law?

Aaaaaand then there's nullification.
The theory of nullification has never been legally upheld; rather, the Supreme Court has rejected it...
...The theory of nullification has been rejected repeatedly by the courts...

Well, since it is still Constitutional to "bear arms" then the feds don't have a shot (pardon the pun) at getting their way.
The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) to the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791.[1] The Tenth Amendment states the Constitution's principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people.

Nullification (U.S. Constitution)
An Englishman explaining to Americans their own constitution, gotta love it.
