Where did the "state" regulated come from????? This is worrisome.

This tells you that it's over before it begins.

But maybe not the way you think. The sentence assumes that "individuals not affiliated..." Have Second Amendment rights. There are only two rights in the second amendment. One to keep arms, another to bear arms. If individuals are assumed, by the Supreme Court, to have those rights, it's all over but the shouting, gnashing of teeth and pulling out of hair by the anti arms rights folks.

It'll take a few years and lots of lawsuits and other court actions, but if that truly is the way the Court rules, gun control as we know it is dead, at least federal gun control. The states may take a bit longer, but then again, I live in Texas where the only state level gun control of any importance was the ban on carry of a handgun. Now we have CHLs for concealed carry on or about the person, and carry in vehicles, still concealed, pretty much anytime one is going somewhere, anywhere, in the vehicle.
