NY’s gun control law doesn’t pass that test.

The 10th Amendment gives New York the right to decide that. If the people in New York feel that's too restrictive then they have the right to challenge it in the courts.

The 14th Amendment placed limits on states’ rights to abridge the rights of Americans.

The federal bill of rights used to apply only to actions of the federal government before the Civil War.

The 14th Amendment passed after the Civil War made the bill of rights applicable to the states as well, including the 2nd Amendment.

That’s the basis of Heller and why NY’s abridgment of the RKBA is unconstitutional.
