Your interpretation of the Constitution is correct as of the early 1800s. By the early 1900s, the Supreme Court "incorporated" most of the Bill of Rights as applying to the states. Articled that I have read seem to say that it is not entirely clear if the second amendment was incorporated. That's all I know; for more info ask a constitutional attorney!!

I don't care who "incorporated" what any more than the founders cared what order the King passed down for gun confiscation.
If we allow something like this to stand, we have given up our liberty and our birthright. This tyrant needs to be shown the door.
