While I am opposed to gun control, the first ten amendments to the Constitution place limits only on the federal government--not states or localities. Which means strictly and authentically interpreted, the Second Amendment doesn't prohibit gun laws on any but the federal level.

Conservatives do themselves no favors when they hypocritically make this very argument against the first amendment on "no establishment of religion" but then turn around and use it on the second.
