The Second Amendment is a restriction on Congress, not on "some body other."

Try it again, replacing "some body other" with "some other body", which is how I intended it.
IF you are telling me that the Constitution ONLY prohibits the federal legislature from infringing upon an enumerated right, but any of the 50 state bodies can legitimately infringe upon that same right, then your argument is hereby REJECTED, as that interpretation renders the Constitution meaningless.

No it doesn't.
