Both petitions challenge a Seventh Circuit Court ruling that the Amendment does not restrict gun control laws adopted by state, county or city government, but applies only to federal laws.

Am I English challenged? What the heck kind of backwards talking society are we living in? The Second Amendment as written, applies to all jurisdictions. However, the First Amendment does not. Congress shall not

So the busybodies are running around arguing that you can't pray in schools and have to allow pornography locally on First Amendment grounds when it contains a Congress shall not statement, yet local jurisdictions CAN ban guns when the Second Amendment does not contain a Congress shall not statement.

Yup. It’s that “living document” stuff. It’s the “penumbra” that gave us Roe v Wade. The Constitution no longer means what it says. It actually means all kinds of stuff that it doesn’t say at all. Gotta have a decoder ring these days.

The Second Amendment as written, applies to all jurisdictions.

Utterly false.

Am I English challenged?

No, just challenged on Constitutional law cases that go way back to Marbury v. Madison and Barron v. Baltimore. The former said that SCOTUS has the last word about what's legal. The latter stated that the Constitution only applies to the feds.

After the Civil War, cases such as Slaughterhouse, Presser and Cruikshank came along to hamstring the 14th Amendment's intent to make the Bill of Rights apply to the states.
