Agreed time to push back. After all we have states and cities ignoring federal immigration laws and marijuana laws. No need to allow them to make more laws to make more felons. Gun-free zones, and murder being committed, which were all against the law.
Tell that to California.What you describe is known as a Confederation. Where state rights trump the rights of the federal government. That's dangerous thinking.
Yes, they may all defy federal law, but I don't recall any of those other states saying they would fine people for complying with federal law.You have seven states that have legalized the use recreational use of marijuana:
Alaska, California, Colorado, Oregon, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Washington
You have four states identified as sanctuary states by the Center of Immigration Studies. The states are California, New Mexico, Connecticut and Colorado.
Colorado and California make both lists.
We can even look at Nevada a prostitution.
It all goes back to the federal government's supremacy and right of pre-emption. Unfortunately, there has been selective enforcement depending on what party is in power.
The bottom line is that we need to ensure that we call our senators and representatives to ensure that we do not lose our rights as guaranteed under the Bill Of Rights.

Although I smoke and I certainly wouldn't want to force my smoking on anyone, I think it was an excellent example of where slowly giving ground can lead to an outright ban.Agree with the sentiment, but a really poor example to pick.
My owning a gun causes no harm to anyone, unlike second hand cigarette smoke.

Not another inch? I wouldn't even give them an RCH!
