"the second is a blanket prohibition of restriction by all levels and parts of the government from its ratification."

Then why do the gun laws vary from state to state? For example, why is concealed carry allowed in some states but not others if the second amendment applies to every state?

When it comes to the first amendment, the laws in all the states are uniform.

Now why is that? Especially if the 1st Amendment was originally implicitly intended to protect the rights of white male landowners, and states could restrict that right as they saw fit?
