Are you saying that State and local governments are bound by the Second Amendment or not bound by it?

That issue is being addressed constantly with the SCOTUS and the District Courts throughout these United States.
My take is that the Bill of Rights says to keep hands off.

Are you saying that State and local governments are bound by the Second Amendment or not bound by it?

My take is that the Bill of Rights says to keep hands off.

I'm not trying to parse you death, but that could be interpreted as saying the Tenth Amendment means hands off the State's prerogative in the area of the RKBA.

It could also mean that the States are required keep their hands off of people's guns.

Let me ask one more time. Are States bound by the Second Amendment in your opinion?
