Federal law exists to ensure certain interests that are important to the entire country are in place. There is no pragmatic way one set of laws could govern the entire country, so each State is allowed to enact laws that it deems fit to address its own needs. However, no State can be allowed to have a law that trumps Federal law or disregards Federal law. For example, if the Federal government decides that fully automatic weapons should be banned across the board, it could not allow a single State to allow fully automatic weapons. That being said, State laws can be more restrictive that Federal law but they cannot be less restrictive. Let's say the Federal government says cell phone calls while driving is a national safety issue and bans it on all interstates. Florida could enact a law that says all cell phone use (calls and text) is illegal.
