Can’t figure this out. Of course the 2nd amendment, and the 20th and 6th whatever, cover all the states. Am I missing something? Will continue reading the thread and articles.

Yes: the Constitutional amendments, legally (thanks to perverse judicial history), do NOT apply to the states until the Supreme Court says they do - one right at a time.

the second ammend makes sure that the Federal government can not take your guns, not the states.
the states can impose laws restricting them.
with this decision it forces the states to comply with that and extends that amendment to the states, telling the states that they can not limit your right to keep and bear arms i believe.

Please read post #136. It was intended for you, and I mistakenly pointed it at the original poster.
