Any claim that the 14th amendment prevents municipalities from doing anything is not misinterpretation, it is a falsehood.

Court ruling seem to indicate otherwise.

The 14th Amendment guarantees the protection of the rights of all U.S. citizens, regardless of the municipality in which they live.

Otherwise, you argue that when cities like New York ban gun rights, they are acting constitutionally. (They are not)

An act that is tyranny at the federal or state level is tyranny at the county and city level, too.

Incorrect. The 14th Amendment guarantees the protection of the rights of all U.S. citizens, regardless of the state in which they live.

In NYC, there is a law stating that a porno shop may not be within a certain distance of a school, place of worship, or another porno shop. In Ocean City, NJ, non-essential businesses (as determined by town council) may not operate on Sundays. If such laws were enacted by a state or by Congress, they would be unconstitutional.
