With rights come responsibility. If you are going to exercise your 2nd A rights, you had better know the laws in the jurisdiction you wil be in.

I think you missed the point of the previous poster. You've accepted as fact the premise that local jurisdictions can infringe upon the 2nd Amendment, and thus one should know the local laws. The point was made that the local jurisdictions do NOT have that right (if we view the 2nd Amendment with the same eye that the 1st is so often used and abused) and therefore all of these limitations should be considered invalid.

For example, I think we can all agree that if any local jurisdiction were to attempt to make a law making it illegal for someone to voice support for Republicans in public (or any other group), it would be struck down by the court as in violation of the 1st Amendment. Why then do we allow local jurisdiction to infringe on the 2nd Amendment when the 2nd Amendment clearly says that the right to keep and bear arm shall NOT be infringed? Is the 2nd Amendment less of an amendment than the 1st? By accepting the premise that local jurisdictions cannot violate the 1st Amendment but they can violate the 2nd, you are already surrendering your 2nd Amendment rights.

Indeed, if local jurisdictions and/or states can trump a fundamental Right in the Constitution, in this case the 2nd Amendment, then we’re back to the days of Jim Crow.
