Maybe we should eliminate nationwide regulations on theft and violence too? Let the locals deal with these things since they are local issues. That way municipalities with funding problems could save some money.

That is, in fact, what we do. If you steal something or kill someone, unless you’re on federal land, you’re prosecuted by the state under state law.

Interesting. Can a state or a county decide that killing people or bank robbery is OK? I am honestly curious.

Sure, depending on the scenario.
