The Court has held that “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding,” District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570, 582 (2008), and that this “Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States,” MacDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742, 750 (2010).

MacDonald incorporated the 2nd under the 14th Amendment and thus applied it to the states.

Which is exactly what I said--liberal, anti-originalist "incorporation," exactly as the Left does with the First Amendment.

Conservatives who demand incorporation of the Second Amendment while screaming against it on all the others do us no credit. Personally, I prefer a morally sane America where states are free to mandate prayer, punish homosexuality, and even have local gun control over what we have now.
