Be that as it may, the Second Amendment refers specifically to what Congress may or may not do w/respect to the RKBA. The 2nd says nothing about what the states, counties, or cities may do with regard to firearms -- which makes it prime 10th Amendment territory.

Article Six, para Two

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

If all else fails, re-read the Fourteenth Amendment, sec One: Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Does that sound like the US Constitution does not apply to the States? Despite Roscoes insistance that judicial activism over-rides the plain language of the Constitution, or yours that a simple majority can meet the Standard for over-riding the Constitution, it means what it says.

"Words mean things". Or did you already forget? Do you really want to be on the side of things that would aruge the meaning of the word "is"?
