I'm no expert on any part of the Constitution...and that goes double for the 2nd Amendment. But there's one thing I'm sure of: no state,county or municipality should have the legal authority to regulate in *any* way the manufacture,sale,purchase,possession or reasonable use (that is,except when use of a firearm is connected to a crime) of a firearm. The only legislative body that should have the authority to do so is the United States Congress...House and Senate.

And,of course,any such laws passed by Congress would be subject to Constitutional scrutiny by the Federal courts as are all other laws passed by Congress.

The state I live in is bordered by two states that basically have no laws restricting firearm purchase or possession yet in my state you have to know a politician or a police chief to even possess a stun gun,let alone a firearm.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.

We’ve seen how well Federal courts ‘scrutinize’ bills passed by Congress.

ACA was re-WRITTEN by Roberts; let alone the STEP 1 question of ANY bill was never asked, let alone answered: By WHAT authority (the power to tax != authority).

We’ve also seen just how well Congress ‘scrutinizes’ courts re: their judicial over-reach (WHEN exactly & how often are judges impeached??). Let alone their ‘oversight’ as we’ve recently seen in the failed coup (FISA rubber stamping nearly every FBI request &, when it’s found out, nary a PEEP was made to the fraud??).

I’ve been making a similar arguement for years. If the founders had intended for Second Amendment rights to be subject to interpretation and restriction by individual states why did they even include it into the Bill of Rights that are guaranteed by the founding document to all citizens of these united States? Each state ratified the Constitution as superior to State constitutions so why do they even have a say at all? I don’t see States limiting any of the other rights guaranteed us by the Constitution.
