The problem is that under Supreme Court decisions, there is no national right to bear arms. In Barron v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore the court found the Bill of Rights did not apply to the states.

That's one aspect of it. My take on it is that the problem is that we have people who promote the idea that our Constitutional rights, and the plain meaning of the Constitution is whatever the last thing the USSC said it was.

I agree that a huge problem is that we have allowed the Supreme Court to become the end all to constitutional questions. They have created this power for themselves, and it needs to be removed.
