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.
Stay tuned.

Timothy Emerson, BTW, is an *sswipe whose difficulties are self-inflicted. He got in trouble for pulling out his Beretta and waving it in his ex-wife's face in a clearly threatening manner. Could have prosecuted for assault, but wasn't.

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.
