Kansas lawmakers and gun groups debated proposed firearm rules as supporters argued 10th Amendment rights and states’ authority clash with federal gun laws. Assistant Attorney General Charles Klebe warned that federal preemption cannot be waived and that enforcement could raise obstruction charges. The discussion touched on physicians asking patients about firearm ownership amid ACA questions, with medical groups opposing bans on such inquiries and citing child gun injury statistics from Kansas.
