Indeed. Many states are probably paddling along the canoe because of the administration they were under at the time, not understanding or choosing to not have it on their to-do list. My state still conducts a separate check for a handgun sale (but same check). Many of these mini-fiefdoms done at the bidding of the G could go away.
During the recent kerfuffle here over "worker's rights" (ta-da,
Fed court has upheld as Constitutional) there was much blathering about throwing away women's right to equal pay, etc. It was nonsense, of course, that's something that's regulated in US law and there is no gain to the state maintaining a separate mechanism "in-house" to manage that. I doubt the G is anxiously waiting for some of the off-loaded state chickens to come home to roost.
