You're legislating morality through more centralized government?

You, sir, are either very confused or very stupid.

The People, via the Constitution, including the Bill Of Rights, including the 2nd Amendment, obligates the government to be more moral. It demands the government not infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It is the people telling the government that it may not infringe on the right of the people, that is anyone's, right to keep and bear arms.

Read a book.

Our "Law of the Land" obligates both fed & State governments.
Read Article VI.

AB50. "Assualt" weapons bans.

Don't be too retarded. If you are going to troll, you need to leave a sliver of truth in there to make your idiocy seem more plausible...

AB50 is a state law, not a city ordinance. San Franciso's attempted ban on hanguns was overruled because of state preemption, NOT the 2nd Amendment.

You're batting .000 so far. Lifetime average at that.

Squeak and run.
February 24, 2006
by Associated Press

The National Rifle Association urged a judge to overturn San Francisco's voter-approved handgun ban, arguing the city can't ban the guns because state law allows them.

Chuck Michel, an attorney for the NRA and gun enthusiasts suing to repeal the ban, said he was "sympathetic with the victims of gun violence," but he said lawful weapon owners "are part of the solution, and not part of the problem."

Without addressing the Second Amendment dispute over the constitutional right to bear arms, Michel argued that a local government cannot ban weapons because the California Legislature allows guns and has almost exclusive authority to regulate them.

Now that the false assertions about city bans and your all too predictable ignorance of state preemption principles have been exposed, you're trying to change the subject to the relative difficulty in obtaining a permit to carry in different counties.

Squeaking and running again.

LOCAL GUN LAWS - PREEMPTION
May cities enact laws stronger than the state's? Yes
California - State law allows cities to enact local gun laws to regulate firearms that are stronger than state law or that fill loopholes in state law and many state laws began as city or county ordinances. But local governments are restricted in "licensing" or "registering" firearms.
Many of California's gun laws began as local ordinances. In addition, some local jurisdictions have restricted the sale of ultra-compact handguns, restricted the sale of 50-caliber sniper rifles, required gun dealers to keep records on ammunition sales, restricted where gun dealers operate, and prohibited gun shows on local government property.

I asked where in the 2nd does it state that it only applies to the federal government, not for an Amendment that states that the Constitution only applies to the federal government. However, I will let you take a shot at showing where in the Constitution it states that it only applies to the federal government. The founding fathers were wary of government becoming tranical, any government & all levels (state, federal, etc.).

Nothing in your source (SARAH BRADY, no less!) refutes the NRA or the court’s decision.

Your true colors continue to leak out.

Backwards. Where does it say it applies to the states?
