My point is that some future "Sarah Brady" U.S. Supreme Court may look at this state ruling regarding a state law under a state constitution and get ideas at the federal level.

Exactly so. And we would be subject to their nationalized 2nd Amendment precedents long after the "dead corpse" of each of those justices had returned to the soil.

We’re already subject to a collectivist interpretation of the 2A, unless we live in the DC District or the 5th Circuit. That means that the 2A does exactly nothing for an individual like me. How is that going to get worse?

Actually, dumba$$, if "Shall not be infringed" were restored to being the "Supreme Law of the Land", it'd take another Amendment passed by 3/4 of the State legislatures and 2/3's of both Houses of Congress to ratify a repeal of the Second to change it.

Much harder to do than these idiotic incremental laws your scenario allows. It also destroys the equal protection of Laws from State to State.

Still a little fuzzy on the concepts regarding the whole Constitution thingie aren't you?
