Firearms Freedom Act Introduced in Florida

Introduced in the Florida House on July 6, 2009, the “Firearms Freedom Act” (HB-21) seeks to provide “that specified firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition for personal use manufactured in state are not subject to federal law or regulation” in the State of Florida.

I can understand why a criminal might object to the Castle Doctrine but how would it adversely impact fellow honest citizens? It doesn't decriminalize murder. It only assures the right of self defense. Some states had required that citizens abandon their homes rather than confronting a criminal invader. The Castle Doctrine assures a right to "stand our ground."
Actually, the "Firearms Freedom Act" would only reaffirm a right that the "non-living, non-breathing" Constitution already recognizes in the Bill of Rights.
Here is what James Madison said in Federalist #46: "Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it."
Does anyone seriously believe that the danger of such infringement by the federal government does not exist? That such infringement is not being actively promoted by anti-second amendment groups? The opposition to the Firearms Freedom Act confirms that doesn't it?
What I was meaning to put forth in my commentary title, is that Florida is working more and more on protecting the rights of firearms owners and is not falling in with other states who are infringing on this right guaranteed by the constitution. This is a very positive action by the State of Florida.
