No, Remain Standing

Can anyone cite the portion of the USC where the States delegated any power regarding firearms to the Federal government? If not, then stand down, or do you support only parts of the USC? [More]
Wrong question, although the Constitution does delegate power to Congress "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia." The "federalism=50 tyrannies" crowd never seems to admit States joining the union signed on to acknowledging the Constitution is "the supreme Law of the Land." That law says "shall not be infringed" and they're not free to pick and choose rights to deny.

While I'm no fan of "permits," there's Article. IV. Section. 1.:
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
All that said, if any State doesn't like it, and Mr. Lincoln's war notwithstanding, I believe in the right of the "people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them."
