You are forgetting about McDonald v. Chicago (Decided a year or so after Heller) which incorporated the 2nd Amend onto the States.

The McDonald case mirrored the Heller decision in that the Court ruled that the 2nd Amendment only protects a right to possess a firearm in the home for lawful uses such as self-defense. It does not prevent reasonable restrictions on firearm ownership being enacted by the state or local governments. Basically neither Heller nor McDonald guarantees a right to possess any firearm, anywhere, and for any purpose.

No and yes. Heller only addressed the Feds not the States. McDonald addressed the States. This is still in the “to be continued” phase (Which might take a long more time to settle).

Point is, the 2nd Amendment is basically universal. McDonald allowed the CC/State infringements to face the 2nd’s power since this is now incorporated, just like any other Fed regulation.
