However I too wonder if gun related incidents will increase.
1. I like that there seems to be an increasing attention span towards state rights, but I'm more curious to find out
how the federal side will perhaps counter this monetarily/ judicially without regards to the 2nd amendment.
2. Gun related incidents will increase if there are more guns... yes, they always do. The more potential there is for
people to create "throwaway" weapons, the greater the probability there is for crimes involving guns. Similarly,
I wonder how the individual state(s) themselves plan to keep things safe.

What do u base this assumption on? your gut feeling? I bet you are not a gun owner are you?
you need to do a little research before making statements that are assumptions not facts!!!
Each year in the United States guns are used three to five times as often for defensive purposes as for criminal purposes. (Targeting Guns: Firearms and Their Control, Gary Kleck, Aldine de Gruyter, 1997)
Three out of four violent crimes committed in the U.S. do not involve firearms. Since 1991, the number of privately owned firearms in the U.S. has increased by 70-75 million, and the nation's murder rate has decreased 43%. (BATFE and FBI)
