The states have MANY powers not granted to congress. Such as, again, making you pay tax money to support a state run church. Shall I post the four or five Madison Hamilton quotes about the almost limitless power of the states again?
Yes, the states have only so much power re: the militia, but if a state wants to regulate firearms for one of a billion diff reasons that have nothing to do with the mil, they may do so. Again, is there ANYBODY, PERSON, THING, OR INSTITUTION that supports this reading of yours?

So far, so good.

but if a state wants to regulate firearms for one of a billion diff reasons that have nothing to do with the mil, they may do so.

How can they ban firearms without affecting the militia?
