What a metric load of horse hockey.
Why then can't each state place its own restrictions on the 1st Amendment? The 4th? The 6th? 7th? 8th?
The truth is, the Constitution is just a convenient fiction. It is no longer operative. The Left has control, and is just deciding its moment to fully seize power, and how many deaths they are willing to entertain to get it.
“As it currently stands, the Second Amendment guarantees U.S. citizens the right to own firearms. But each state is permitted to place its own restrictions on the types of firearms — and the manner in which they’re possessed — that people are allowed to own.”
“As it currently stands,” the US Supreme Court incorporated the second amendment among the states. Although simply ignored by some states and municipalities, the second amendment simply formalizes the human right to self-defense and the USSC has acknowledged that right as well as affirmed that it applies everywhere. No state is “permitted to place (any) restrictions” on that basic human right. The AG of NY is wrong—but when has that ever stopped govt officials from oppressing people? I am sure there are legal “experts” out there who can cough up a convoluted legal argument denying this but the intent of the 2nd amendment and the rights of human beings remains clear.
