This is very important.

Just about ever part of the Bill of Rights has been “incorporated” – meaning that a court held that the right applied to state law [not just fed law].

Liberals do not want the second amendment to be incorporated so that states can continue to ban guns.

If the US Supreme Court affirms that the second amendment is incorporated [as they should do], then all state law will need to comply with it.

Maybe not, check out the first section of my state’s constitution’s bill of rights:

Sec. 1. [Supreme law of the land.]
The state of New Mexico is an inseparable part of the federal union, and the constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land.

See, right there ALL of the Constitution applies. Period.
