I have read a lot about this case in recent days, so maybe some folks can help.

On the grounds of Federalism, perhaps the court is saying that the Second Amendment prohibits the federalis from regulating fire arms, however, the states can decide for themselves how to regulate firearms.

That would make sense to me.

The problem or contradiction here (well really, the absurdity) is that the Supreme Court took up a case and overturned a local law on sodomy.

How do the two positions fit?

Well, they don't in any logical sense.

No. the Second Amendment restricts the States as well. What good would it be if it was otherwise? You'd get precisely the situation we have in Cali.

For reference see Art II Sec. 4, and the 10th and 14th Amendments.

Then what good is the 2nd Amendment?
