Normally, the 14th amendment would cover a citizens rights at the state level, but the USSC never incorporated the 2nd amendment under the 14th. Bottom line: California could ban guns if it wanted to.That's what I was thinking. But I was more mentioning the 14th in regard to this law since it should be obvious that it is targeting a specific group (minorities) for different treatment than others. That is what the voters rights act of '65 was about. Why is it that only the liberals want to use the 14th?
Not sure. Keep in mind that Congress banned "Saturday Night Specials" which affected mostly black (and white) poor.
