Question

In the 1990s, the Supreme Court issued a series of state-friendly rulings, including one that struck down most of the Brady Bill, a federal gun control law. This ruling has since been cited in backing the constitutionality of so-called sanctuary cities and states, which limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Why is this the case

Answer 1

This is the case because according to the Supreme Court, the federal government cannot mandate that states carry out or enforce federal statutes like the Brady Bill.

What is the Brady Bill about?

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, on the 30th day of November, 1993 was enacted, thus effectively modifying or amending it's predecessor - the Gun Control Act of 1968.

This new Act required that everyone who wanted to be armed must wait for five days before a dealer sold a handgun to an individual that is unlicensed.
