14th Amendment violation. The 14th applies the Bill of Rights to the States.

That is a Supreme Court minority interpretation. I'm only concerned with the Text of the Constitution here. Let's not get off on some whacky interpretation of the 14th Amendment, that it "applies the bill of rights to the States" Hugo Black is full of it, and no Judge is Perfect. The Court only "selectively" applies the Bill of Rights to the states, anyway. That's part of the problem with the 14th. It's so vague they can do anything they want. That's another thread.

"The 14th applies the Bill of Rights to the States."

Two U.S. Supreme Court cases exclude the Second Amendment, unfortunately.
