The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution says:
"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;"
This has uniformly been interpreted to extend the protections of the Constitution and Bill of Rights to the States.
Clearly, this includes the Second Amendment, and a suit has been filed in California over this very issue.

Well said, but clearly, roscoe & all cannot understand the simple language of our constitution, or its principles.
-- Either that, or they reject these principles.
I fear we must conclude that the latter is most likely and they would not honor or protect it, if called to duty.

Clearly, this includes the Second Amendment Beg that question.
"The Second Amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress." -- US Supreme Court, U.S. v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875), Presser v. State of Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886)
1875, 1886
