Cool map and all but where is it written that States can determine the right to carry?

It is actually forbiden by the 2nd and the 10th.

How do you figure? I read just the opposite. The 2nd Amendment is technically redundant since the power to "infringe" on the right to bear arms is not delegated to Congress in the first place. Since this power is not prohibited to the states, it is therefore "reserved".
