As usual, an issue is looked at from a myopic point of view.
This issue is not, and should not be a Federal issue.
For too long a segment of the population has relieved themselves of all personal liberty and given it to the Federal government. I call this Mommy Mentality. Mommy should help me, Mommy should be there to hold our hands, etc etc. The Federal Government is your Mommy. Your state government is usually your partner. Do you fear your state? Do you fear your Federal Government?
This country was set up so the states handled all domestic issues, locally... within the state.
The larger problem is, the US population has had its tax dollars and freedoms moved to one central location... Washington D.C.
Do you want to resolve this issue, and most issues that effect people locally? Remove the power from Washington, D.C. where it was never supposed to be put.
The concept is State's Rights and it is the basis for the constitution. Over many decades the US people have slowly given their entire freedom of choice to a gaggle of people who's whole reason for existence is to move all control to one place. Greed for unquestioned power and control of a ton of tax dollars, where the citizens truly have no choice.
Could your state handle its affairs without Washington, D.C.? Each state is setup to be a mini-US federal government. Is balkanization the next logical choice for this nation? Imagine if your local state government, who has a closer feel for what its people want, was the government. A complete balkanization. It would make states compete for residents, and allow true freedom of choice.
Do you want a state that is a Blue state? Do you want a Red state? All of this could truly be possible if each state was given its constitutional right to dictate the rules in its territory.
The time is upon us, and is the most logical direction.
