Its called the "slippery slope" for a reason.
Once you legally give standing to an entity to write Constitutional Law ( say a State Reaffirming the Right to keep and Bear Arms) then you allow lawyers leeway to widen that legal scope and all of the Sudden State Law overrides the Constitution. This is exactly how we ended up where we are with libtards making places like NYC a haven for armed criminals while citizens who wish to stay out of jail must not protect themselves with firearms.

...have you EVER heard of the 9th and 10th Amendments?
Virtually all of the signatory States ALREADY HAD State Constitutions! The US Constitution even mentions this in Paragraph 2 of Art 6:
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, **ANY THING IN THE CONSTITUTION OR LAWS OF ANY STATE** to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

Really?
Can you show me the portion in the NY [or NJ] Constitution where it explicitly restricts the right to keep and bear arms?
Also, the Constitution[s] do *NOT* grant people rights and cannot therefore be construed to deny the rights of people, they affirm and publicly acknowledge PRE-EXISTING rights in regard to the people. The only ‘rights’ that the Constitution ‘grants’ are those the people allow the Government/
