Just because the Supreme Court hasn't "incorporated" the second like the others, doesn't mean they are right. The SC avoids the issue. Why? I don't know. But legally a federal protection trumps state regulation. Why the feds ignore the second is beyond me.

Legally, it doesn't. You don't have a leg to stand on if you took this to court, I'm sorry.
Hey, you're talking to a person who thinks that ALL guns laws should be repealed. I think a 14 year old girl should be able to walk into Home Depot and buy a chain-fed machine gun, over the counter, with no papers to sign, no taxes to pay, no identification to show, and no waiting period to pass.
Fact is, though, that ain't the way it is, and we have to recognize the way the law operates. As it is right now, the federal constitution doesn't mean crap on a state level when it comes to the 2nd Amendment.
