The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The Constitution did NOT delegate the traditional state police powers over firearms to the federal government. Now we have various Constitution haters on these threads calling for the federal judiciary to assume those states' police powers for itself.
Ok, then to clarify, why don’t you tell us who you think the 2nd amendment *does* apply to, only to DC? You say no state is required to honor it, so who is controlled by the 2nd? Im seriously asking, you have completely lost me.
Did you miss the fact that the right to keep and bear arms is a natural right, and this was a recognized legal right before the United States constitution was written? It’s not something that can be taken away by the Federal Government, the States, or anyone else, since it is one of those rights mentioned in the Declaration as inalienable.
