You have quotes from the Founders stating explicitly that the States can arbitrarily violate the Second Amendment?
Bullsh*t. They don't exist.

We have quotes from the framers of the Constitution and the Amendments that clearly show that the BoR was not meant to apply to the states. If they f.ex. wanted the right to trial by jury to apply to the states they would accept the additional amendment proposed by Madison. If they wanted the RKBA to apply to the states they would explicitly say so. Read the Introduction to BoR written by Madison.
