And sorry, conservatives, the Second Amendment wasn’t written to keep states from banning guns ... They understood the Second Amendment applied only to the federal government, not the states.

No kidding but that is true of the entire Bill of Rights. That changed through the judge-decreed process of “incorporation”. But given that all of the other significant rights have been incorporated so as to apply against the states, it would make zero sense not to incorporate this greatly important one as well.

"Incorporation" has been nothing but an abominable disaster! Why would any conservative defend such a thing?
