You probably ought to read history about Attila (and note the
spelling, it's not a Brit name.)

No, only when they're warranted. Just like I wrote.

I'm surprised you couldn't glean that from the sentence since it's

Must be either a reading comprehension or an attention span problem

Here's how it works. If you insult me I'll insult you back. If you
don't, I won't. Do you understand, or is that sentence too long or
complicated for you?

Sure, and the USSC used that argument to uphold the feds overruling states
which passed medical marijuana laws -- even if the marijuana is grown and used
within a state.
