I'm ok with this argument, as I believe that legislatures, national and state, should write laws to address these issues, not rely on court precedent.

I disagree that this is the main reason, because SCOTUS just basically said the NY state law against guns in public was unconstitutional, and Congress is passing a national gun law as we speak.
So I find it hard to believe that it's just about state's rights, because it's giving states some rights in one week while also taking away other rights.
