Heller, Caetano v Massachusetts It is settled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms that applies against both the Federal Government and the States. District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570 (2008); McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742 (2010).
McDonald v. City of Chicago
On June 28, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (54) that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, applies to state and local governments as well as to the federal government.
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe.
The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.
Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787)

Leftists only care about court decisions they like. Heller is void in their eyes because it wasn’t issued by liberals.
