Oklahoma, Nebraska ask Supreme Court to overturn Colorado marijuana law

This scares me.
The basic argument they are making is that Drugs are flowing from one state (legal) to another (illegal) and therefore should be made illegal in the source state. Granted, Federal Law is still in play in this one.
Couldn't a States Attorney General make the same argument for guns? For example: I could imagine Frosh arguing, "Assault rifles are illegal in MD, but legal in PA & VA. We can't control their influx into our state, so they must be made illegal in the source states".
Should we be watching this? It seems like this could result in a huge blow to states rights.
