A convincing, fact-filled argument which utterly exposes the fallacy of the preceding statement.
We all know that the Second Amendment reads
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep ad bear Arms, shall not be infringed at the federal level, other than a few common-sense regulations. States and other local governments may do as they please, up to and including forbidding the people either to keep or bear Arms.

“Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the State governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original Constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had Congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the Constitutions of the several States by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language.”—Barron v. Mayor & City Council of Baltimore, 32 U.S. 243 (1833)
