The federal government has stolen jurisdiction of issues that the 9th and 10th Amendments assign to the States...
My position on crime is that all crime is local, and therefore belongs under the jurisdiction of state and local government. According to the Constitution, the only federal crimes are counterfeiting, piracy, and treason. The federal government has stolen jurisdiction of issues that the 9th and 10th Amendments assign to the States, and to the people (ex. drugs, gun control). These decisions belong under state and local control. The founding fathers never envisioned a federal police force, let alone the conglomeration of acronyms that we have today (BATF, DEA, FBI, IRS, etc.).
