You don't need to go to law school to know that the US Constitution covers every state in the union and has control over any law that any state passes until such a time it is amended to allow such law.

You should have learned that in 6th grade.

I think dog gone was going for the "incorporation" angle WRT the 2nd amendment. Namely there is a thought by some that if the supreme court doesn't make a ruling that incorporates an amendment to cover states or local governments, then it doesn't cover it.

Then there would be people like me, and probably you, who subscribe to the original intent philosophy, whereby if the founding fathers were smart enough to put it in the BOR as basic human rights, which means it can't be taken away from a free man by any other man or level of government. And it doesn't take 9 people in robes to 'grant' those rights to us by a ruling when we were born with those rights.

The problem with rudy is that he most certainly believes in the 'incorporation' approach for the 2nd amendment, but also wants to use the federal government to ban guns, so he doesn't give a crap about the 2nd amendment on a federal level either.

Really. What part about the rights being reserved to the states did you fail to understand?

Your sixth grade education entitles you to lecture me on the state of law in this country?

This is eye-opening, for sure.

You do need a Masters in English to make sense out of this sentence, though. :-)
